sample.
Descriptive statistics give information regarding a data set. For example, any graph, the mean, median, and mode, standard deviation, range, and variance are all descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics is using a representative sample from a population to say something about that population. For example, for presidential polls, not everyone in the country is called and asked who they plan to vote for. Whoever does the surveying picks a sample that should fairly represent the population as a whole, and just asks those people. Depending on the sample size, the surveyor can then determine how accurate the results are, and use them to generalize to the population as a whole.
dispersion
Which one of the following is true about statistics? A) Inferential statistics deals with collecting, summarizing, and simplifying data about given population B) Descriptive statistics is also known as inductive statistics C) Descriptive statistics goes beyond describing a given problem situation by means of collecting, summarizing and meaningfully presenting the related data D) Descriptive statistics is one which describes the population. On the other hand, inferential statistics issued to make the generalization about the population based on the samples.
The score of each individual or a single data is called STATISTIC. As a result, STATISTICS is the act of creating, comparing, interpreting, and analyzing data. Because the population is nearly impossible to reach, statistics is concerned with the sample rather than the population.
There are two types of statistics. One is called descriptive statistics and the other is inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics is when you use numbers. Inferential statistics is when you draw conclusions or make predictions.
The group of individuals used to represent a population is called the sample. It should have the same statistics as the population, though be of a smaller size.
statistics
demographics, census data
The number of individuals in the population is the population's size. If a population is small enough you will be able to determine the size by counting the individuals.
immigration
Emigration.

Over population.
genetic variation
emigration
dispersion
Moving out of a population is called emigration. (Moving into a population is called immigration.)
