    Statement 1: "The test scores of a class of 50 students on a math exam have an

    average (mean) score of 75."


    Descriptive Statistics: Descriptive statistics would involve summarizing and presenting
    the data from the class of 50 students. In this case, it provides information about the
    sample's central tendency (mean score of 75). Common tools for descriptive statistics
    include measures like mean, median, and mode, as well as graphical representations
    such as histograms and box plots to visualize the data distribution.
    Inferential Statistics: Inferential statistics would be used to make inferences about a
    larger population of students based on the sample of 50 students. You might use tools
    like hypothesis tests (e.g., t-tests) to determine if the sample mean of 75 is significantly
    different from a population mean or if there is evidence to support a specific claim about
    the population.
    Statement 2: "A survey of 500 smartphone users reveals that 60% of them prefer
    Android phones over iPhones."
    Descriptive Statistics: Descriptive statistics would involve summarizing and presenting
    the survey data from the 500 smartphone users, indicating that 60% prefer Android
    phones. Descriptive tools here include calculating proportions, percentages, and
    creating bar charts or pie charts to represent the preferences of the surveyed
    individuals.
    Inferential Statistics: Inferential statistics would be used to make inferences or
    predictions about the preferences of all smartphone users (the larger population) based
    on the survey results. You might use tools like confidence intervals or chi-square tests to
    assess whether the observed preference for Android phones in the sample is reflective
    of the population as a whole and whether there is a statistically significant difference
    between the preferences.
    In summary, descriptive statistics are used to summarize and describe data from a
    sample, often using measures of central tendency and data visualization. Inferential
    statistics, on the other hand, involve making inferences or predictions about a larger
    population based on sample data, often using hypothesis tests, confidence intervals,
    and other statistical techniques. The choice of tools depends on the specific goals and
    questions you have about the data and population of interest.
