III. DISCUSSION (Theoretical)

Descriptive statistics refers to a branch of statistics that involves summarizing, organizing, and presenting data
meaningfully and concisely. It focuses on describing and analyzing a dataset's main features and characteristics
without making any generalizations or inferences to a larger population.

The primary goal of descriptive statistics is to provide a clear and concise summary of the data, enabling
researchers or analysts to gain insights and understand patterns, trends, and distributions within the dataset. This
summary typically includes measures such as central tendency (e.g., mean, median, mode), dispersion (e.g.,
range, variance, standard deviation), and shape of the distribution (e.g., skewness, kurtosis).

Descriptive statistics also involves a graphical representation of data through charts, graphs, and tables, which
can further aid in visualizing and interpreting the information. Common graphical techniques include
histograms, bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, and box plots.

By employing descriptive statistics, researchers can effectively summarize and communicate the key
characteristics of a dataset, facilitating a better understanding of the data and providing a foundation for further
statistical analysis or decision-making processes.
