Descriptive statistics provide a concise summary of a data set, highlighting central tendency, dispersion, and shape.
The arithmetic mean (average) is the most common measure of central tendency, calculated by summing all observations and dividing by their count.
Standard deviation quantifies the spread of data around the mean, and together with the mean it enables construction of confidence intervals to infer population parameters.
