1. Descriptive statistics is a branch of statistics that deals with describing and summarizing data in a meaningful way such as through measures of central tendency. 2. Inferential statistics is a branch of statistics that allows inferences to be made from the sample to the population such as predicting unknown values and generalizing based on samples. 3. Pearson's correlation coefficient is a measure of the linear association between two variables and can range from -1 to 1, with values closer to 1 indicating a stronger positive linear relationship and closer to -1 indicating a stronger negative linear relationship.
