Descriptive statistics can include frequency distributions and measures of central tendency and dispersion to summarize and describe data, but they do not provide information about the probability that a result is due to chance (that is the domain of inferential statistics). ANOVA is a specific type of inferential statistical analysis, not a descriptive statistic.
