Sometimes (but rarely) we can enumeratethe whole population . If so, we need only use:DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS:Procedures used to summarize and describe the set of measurements.Descriptive Statistics

When we cannot enumerate the whole population, we use:INFERENTIAL STATISTICS:Procedures used to draw conclusions or inferences about the population from information contained in the sample.Inferential Statistics
