Explanation of Solution

Descriptive statistics:

The descriptive statistics are procedures used to allow researcher to summarize, organize, and make sense of the set of scores. Also, the descriptive statistics are presented in tables, graphically or as single values.

Inferential statistics:

The inferential statistics are procedures used to allow researcher to infer how well the statistics in a sample reflect parameters in a population.

The difference is the descriptive statistics allow researcher to summarize, organize, and make sense of the set of scores but inferential statistics allow researcher to infer how well the statistics in a sample reflect parameters in a population.
