Descriptive statistics means :
Answer: C
Descriptive statistics are measurements used to summarise data sets.
They describe the main features of collected data: measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), of dispersion (range, standard deviation) and frequency distributions, tables and charts. They summarise what the data show without drawing inferences about a larger population, which is the job of inferential statistics.
The set of all elements that could be measured is the definition of a population. Describing a single variable or two variables is univariate or bivariate analysis, which are particular uses of statistics, not the definition of descriptive statistics.
