Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Calculating the average age of everyone in the class is an example of descriptive statistics, which describes and summarizes the data within a group without making inferences about a larger population. It is not inferential because we are not using the class's data to infer about a larger population. It is not mode or median because we are finding the average or mean instead of the most common or middle value.
