Answer:

A-The purpose of  (2)descriptive statistics is to simplify the organization and presentation of data.

B-The purpose of (1) inferential statistics is to use the limited data from a sample as the basis for making general conclusions about the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The descriptive statistics is used to make large data presentable into usable short forms, without which it would look impossible to solve. We draw a sample from the population and find its mean or draw histograms for the frequency distributions. This is descriptive statistics.

The inferential statistics is used to make inferences and conclusions from limited data given from a population. We do the hypothesis testing for the random samples obtained from larger populations. The hypothesis tests or the confidence intervals help us decide whether the rseults are accepted or not.
