Examples of descriptive statistics include measures such as the mean, median, and mode, which summarize the central tendency of data. For instance, if you have the ages of a group of people, calculating the mean age provides an average, while the median age indicates the middle value when ages are arranged in order. Additionally, descriptive statistics can show the frequency of specific values, such as how many people in a survey chose a particular answer. Graphical representations like histograms and pie charts are also considered descriptive statistics, as they visually summarize data for easier understanding.
