Descriptive and Inferential Statistics

The video introduces statistics concepts, focusing on data types, including qualitative and quantitative data, and further classifies quantitative data into discrete and continuous types. It explains the importance of population and sample in statistics, leading to inferential statistics and hypothesis testing. The video concludes with a quiz to reinforce learning.
