Inferential statistics allow us to draw conclusions about a population based on a sample. It involves hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and generalization of results to a larger population. Descriptive statistics, on the other hand, simply summarize and describe the characteristics of the sample or population. Inferential statistics are generally applicable to a wide range of data distributions, and are not specifically designed to work with skewed data.
