Answer 1

Based on the given sample above, I can say that it would be an example of a descriptive statistics. When we say descriptive statistics, this is the kind of statistics that uses numerical data based from the given sample in order to describe the population. This is different from inferential because inferential statistics creates inferences based on the given data. Hope this helps.
