Descriptive statistics involves using numerical indices to describe a population or sample, such as measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of variability (range, standard deviation).

Parametric statistics specifically refers to tests and procedures that assume certain characteristics of the data, such as normality or equal variances.
