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.
