use descriptive statistics because it generally needs a huge population because it doesn’t infer any trends, it describes trends. Where as in inferential statistics we can use a sample population and assume that the sample is representative of the population to infer trends of the population to help with the sheer cost of understanding a population. Inferential statistics are generally used for understanding overall trends in a population neglecting all sublime factors, which is typically best for
a. In statistics, a population is a collection of individuals, things, events, etc. The population is the topic that one wants to make inferences on, whereas a sample is a subset of the population that is being collected—to be studied. After the sample is studied in statistics, one draws an inference of the population. There are four general sampling methods used in statistics: representative sample, random sample and quasi-random sample, stratified and quota sample, convenience sample, and purposive
Simple random sampling is when every subject of the sample size representing the population has the same and equal opportunity of being chosen. Incorporating randomness and an equal likelihood of selection is quite difficult for a human, for he or she is naturally prone to bias (whether on purpose or without knowledge and desire). Placing names in a slip of paper and them mixing them around in a box is not as random as we believe or expect it to be. In fact, the act of such method brings its bias
that I had a genuine interest to applying mathematical and statistical theories to real-world concerns. Hey, even Twain the skeptic realized the importance of balancing the cargo on shallow, difficult-to-navigate riverboats so that the port and starboardsides were equally laden-he even advised the captains to part their hair down the middle so that the weight was perfectly distributed!
Statistical Investigation Introduction I have chosen to do this statistical coursework that uses data from 'Mayfield High School.' Although this is a fictitious school, the data is based on a real school. As the data has been collected for me, it is called secondary data. I believe that this coursework will allow me to illustrate my ability to handle data, use specific techniques and apply higher level statistical maths by being able to use a variety of methods in order to analyse
Statistical Investigation into Rollercoaster Data I am going to be completing a statistical investigation from some collected data. This will be obtained from a World Rollercoaster Database. The information that can be seen from the database about an individual rollercoaster is: which country designed it, when it opened, its height, its length, its max speed, the ride time, and the thrill factor out of 10. I am going to investigate whether the fastest rides are the most exciting. I would
Statistical Investigation For my Maths GCSE's I am required to do two pieces of coursework one of which is a piece on statistics. The purpose of this project is to help me investigate a real life situation using statistics. In this case I have been given some quantitative data on the end of year maths test scores of children in year 8. What I am supposed to do is compare the data by making hypotheses to indicate if there is something comparable between the results. First I have decided
Statistical Investigation Into Height and Weight of Students My hypotheses are as follows: ~ 1. Year 11 students are, on average, taller than year 9 students. 2. There is better correlation between height and weight in year 7 than there is in year 11. 3. The taller someone is the heavier they are. Below are the sampling methods that I have used in my coursework: Stratified Simple Random Stratified sampling can be defined as the process where the population is divided into
The Relationship Between the Population and the Life Expectancy of a Country My course work will be based on the possible relationship between the population and life expectancy of a country. I will be working from the internet to gain my information as it is easy, efficient and its content is up to date and reliable. The main sites that I will gather my information from are www.worldbank.org and www.worldatlas.com Also I will gain some statistical evidence from a book called 'world in figures'
The study of demography and statistics is essential for a nation. Statistical and demographical data provides the history of population growth. To understand the economical condition of a country, it is important to determine population growth rate and immigration pattern (Elliot). The government uses demographical information to determine the total resources needed to satisfy the demand of the total population (“Demographics Driving”). My maternal uncle, Dr. Mohammed Shahidullah, who is the Demographer
The unit of observations were random samples of twenty-five various employees divided into two distinct, independent populations, smokers and non-smokers. Then data on their absences from work for the previous year were obtained and used in this statistical inference. Because of a strong association between smoking and ill-health, it is generally accepted that smokers miss more work than their non-smoking counterparts. Does the smoker miss more work than the non-smoker? Data from these random samples

impression of the ratio of total births to the total population in a certain region over a one year period. It is calculated by through ways such as; getting live births statistics from a universal system of births registration, statistics of deaths, and population size from census, marriages and also estimation by means of specialized techniques- estimation techniques. Death rate on the other hand is the number of deaths per a 1,000 subset of a population- also called fatality rate or mortality rate or
“About 56.7 million people, 19 percent of the population had a disability in 2010, according to a broad definition of disability, with more than half of them reporting the disability was severe, according to a comprehensive report on this population released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.” (census.gov) I believe there is an enormous divide in our country when it comes to accepting the legitimate need of a better understanding and care for people with disabilities of any race, religion, ethnicity
Statistical Investigation on Car Prices Data Collection: We are asked to find the relationship between prices of ‘51 registered’ cars and variables such as their current new price, mileage and weight by using the regression analysis. To collect full information of these registered cars, we can access to the websites like: http://www.exchangeandmart.co.ukHowever, in this easy, we use the data, which are provided with the assignment by our teachers. By the sources, 100 cars, which
Statistical Investigation All graphs should be attached. An Investigation into the Relationships between the Heights and Weights of a Rangeof Studentsat Mayfield High Aim I aim to investigate the relationship between the heights and weights of a range of students from different demographics at "Mayfield High". Prediction I. I predict initially that the average male height will be greater than the average female height. That is due to biology stating that males are, on average
will discuss the current situations regarding population growth and the resulting population issues, as well as what policies have been implementing to overcome population issues in China, India, and Japan. China currently has over 1.3 billion people (1,355,692,576 as of 2014), making China the most populous country in the world. The worlds current population is approximately 7.1 billion, this means that China makes up almost 20% of the world’s population therefore, one in every five people in the
interest variable that describes the level of social protection. Therefore, the level of economic development acts as a migration pull factor and we employ in this sense the GDP per capita. The indicator is calculated as the ratio of GDP to the average population of a specific
The Aging American Population The American population has changed dramatically over the last century. Our society has become effected by this in all areas and walks of life. It is unknown what the future holds for America, but the statistical trends in an aging population may shed some light. The rate of aging
In his article, ‘One Nation, One of Many’ he claims that lack of shared values in a multicultural society will pose a threat to ‘America’ as an entity. He shows evidence of this by giving statistical data of the number of immigrants who have come into the country over the years. And he has gave data from surveys on the political and cultural fragmentation that have occurred since the influx in the early 1960s. He further supports his claim by
