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

import pandas as pd, pint_pandas
s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3], dtype='pint[kg]')
s.describe()

DimensionalityError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
...

Issue Description

hgrecco/pint-pandas#279

Series.describe sets the dtype for the results to Float64Dtype when the input is an EA. pint's Quantity
cannot be casted to Float64Dtype.

dtype = Float64Dtype()

Expected Behavior

.describe should return a Series of objectdtype, or the dtype of the EA
