Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Range and standard deviation are both measures of variability and are used to describe the spread of a data set, making them descriptive statistical techniques. Descriptive analysis summarizes and presents the main features of a data set, including the measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of variability (range, standard deviation, variance). In contrast, inferential analysis involves making predictions or drawing conclusions about a population based on a sample of data, while predictive analysis aims to forecast future outcomes based on historical data. Association analysis examines the relationship and dependencies between variables.
