What is a statistical analysis result that a descriptive statistical analysis will not provide?
- calculation of how widely dispersed the data is
- visualization of particular data trends occurring
- predictions made about other data sets that are not in the population
- calculation of the smallest or largest value
| Explanation & Hint:
Descriptive statistics are used to describe or summarize data in ways that are meaningful and useful. They describe the current or historical state of the observed population but do not allow for comparison of groups, conclusions to be drawn, or predictions to be made about other data sets that are not in the population. |
