Inferential statistics

Explanation:

Descriptive statistics describes data and gives us a picture of what the data summary looks like using such things as mean and central tendency measures. Inferential statistics on the other hand aims to make predictions using the data based on data analysis such as collecting sample from population and constructing hypotheses to estimate outcomes for the general population. Example in the question, the first is inferential statistics as we make generalized predictions on batteries using data samples from the population of batteries of a particular type.
