Description

Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

>>> a = pd.Series([100.0, 200.0], dtype=pd.ArrowDtype(pa.float64()))
>>> b = a.describe()
>>> b.dtype
Float64Dtype()
>>>

Issue Description

Describe with arrow backend returns an extension array datatype instead of pyarrow datatype.

Expected Behavior

I expect the returned series to be of dtype double[pyarrow].
