Descriptive statistics, also known as univariate statistics, are most often used to describe the distribution of a variable or variables in a sample. A distribution of a variable can be thought of as all of the individual scores or categories of a variable contained in a sample or population. For example, if the variable being measured in a sample of 100 people is age, then the distribution for the age variable would be all of the 100 separate ages of the people contained in the sample
