Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics are methods used to summarize and describe the main features of a dataset. This includes calculating measures such as the mean (average), median (middle value), mode (most frequent value), and standard deviation (how spread out the values are). Descriptive statistics provide a clear overview of the data, making it easier to understand trends, patterns, and variations without making predictions or inferences about a larger population. They are essential for presenting information in a digestible format, helping to communicate findings effectively.
