The Impact Of Descriptive And Inferential Statistics

Summary

Currently, our world is very connected and we seem to become more and more dependent on the transportation we use to get us to and from the places we need to go. With this increased dependency, fuel economy should be going up rapidly to keep the dangerous greenhouse gas emissions at steady levels instead of letting it exponentially increase. Reducing fuel consumption is something that automakers are currently working on to help out the environment. Automakers are looking into the past to understand what made fuel economy so great, and are combining those ideas with descriptive and inferential statistics to generate new ideas to help with modern eco-friendly passenger vehicles. Currently, automakers are using descriptive statistics from

We generally see this method used for financial and marketing purpose. When conducting surveys, we normally wouldn’t use descriptive statistics because it generally needs a huge population because it doesn’t infer any trends, it describes trends.

Inferential statistics are generally used for understanding overall trends in a population neglecting all sublime factors, which is typically best for customer satisfaction and product

For example, in a business setting descriptive statistics can show an increasing trend in profits, however if you look at the inferential statistics of customer satisfaction surveys we may see a decline. This would lead you to say, profits are going to decrease unless a solution is made
