Answer:

Descriptive statistics describe data from surveys and case studies, while inferential statistics determine if data can be generalized to other populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the definition of each type of Statistics

Descriptive Statistics, as the name says, describes, properties or characteristics (that can be gathered through surveys and case studies), using mathematical methods for tendency and dispersion.

Inferential statistics, as the name states, infers, if samples from a larger data set have behaviors that can be then extrapolated to the larger group.
