If in assessing survey data to determine that the Great Mountain High School has an approval rating of 60% this would be an example of an "inferential statistic." Inferential statistics seek to infer or determine what a population might think or believe. This is beyond simple descriptive statistics such as the population size or the average age of the participants.
