Inferential statistics is used to make inferences about the population based on information obtained from a sample. This involves using statistical methods to analyze the data and draw conclusions about characteristics of the population. Descriptive statistics summarize and describe the sample, but do not make inferences about the larger population. Experimental and correlational designs are methods for collecting data, but they do not necessarily involve statistical analysis or making inferences about the larger population.
