Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics is used for helping to describe the highlights (features) of a particular informational collection by providing short outlines about the sample and proportions of the information (Pallant, 2020). The most perceived kinds of descriptive statistics are proportions of focus: the mean, middle, and mode, which are utilized at practically all degrees of measurements (Loether et al., 1993).
