Basic statistics can be divided into two categories: descriptive and inferential. Inferential statistics are the statistical methods used to reach conclusions about the associations and relationships between different variables through hypothesis testing, which are reached through the structured development of intelligent questions to be answered in the investigation. Descriptive statistics, by contrast, are explicitly designed to describe the fundamental characteristics of a data set, such as its distribution moments ER -
