Answer to Question 1

A survey is based on results from a (representative) sample, or subset, of the population, while a census is based on results from the entire population.

Answer to Question 2

The difference between the two methods is that descriptive statistics is limited to only the data being summarized, whereas inferential statistics applies to a larger population than those observed
