Statistical Report With Given Data
My task is to produce a statistical report with the data I have been
given. Which is on an excel spread sheet, the data consists of Name,
Year group, Gender, Maths set, Registration group, Height and foot
length of every person who was present on the day the statistics were
taken, to ensure some kind of confidentially there is only the first
letter of the forename and the first three letters of the surname in
the data. All the measurements were taken to the nearest centimetre.
Some of the data is missing such as the set or gender because the
information was unavailable but this makes the statistics realistic
because in modern day life information would be missing or
unavailable. The data collected is primary data because I was present
and participated when it was being collected. The data was collected
by measuring the height of every person to the nearest centimetre and
their right foot to the nearest centimetre. 6th formers who do not
take maths were not included in the data. The problems with collecting
the data this way was that the information was collected by different
people so we are never sure if the information was collected in the
same way each time. The data was told to be collected by measuring the
height to the nearest centimetre and the length of the left foot to
the nearest centimetre. The data given is continues data because it
has been measured.
The question I will attempt to answer are:
o Who is taller boys or girls in each year group
I will take a random sample from each year of 70 people; I have
decided I am not going to include the 6th form in my statistical
report so it is on years 7 through to 11 my samples will be
stratified. For years 7 and 9 the number of boys and girls is very
close together so I will just take a sample of 35 people of each sex
for these years, the other years I will take a stratified sample and
well as given a general understanding of the A-B-A design, as described in Royse, et al. VC was
The number of men compared to women that I saw within this time was 22:16. The number of racial minorities that I saw compared to the number of whites was 7:31. The number of obviously homosexual couples that I saw compared to the number of obviously heterosexual couples was 1:7. The number of adults
To answer this question, I conducted a simple experiment with different variable. The first variable is age. The second is location. I interviewed sixteen people, (eight women and eight men) and asked them the same questions. Four males and females are from the Binghamton area, and four males and females are from the Long Island area.

The spreadsheet from the eLearn titled “Experiment I data” was downloaded to the computer. There were three inhibitors data given. The slope (V0) was calculated for each inhibitor data using the time versus response. The formula used to calculate slope was typed = slope (B6:B11, $A$6: $A$11) in the cell right below the last Reponses, and then from that cell dragged horizontally to get the rest of the slope. This step was repeated for Inhibitor 2, and 3 data.

A researcher determines that 42.7% of all downtown office buildings have ventilation problems. Is this a statistic or a parameter; explain your answer.
According to the graph on amylase activity at various enzyme concentration (graph 1), the increase of enzyme dilution results in a slower decrease of amylose percentage. Looking at the graph, the amylose percentage decreases at a fast rate with the undiluted enzyme. However, the enzyme dilution with a concentration of 1:3 decreased at a slow rate over time. Additionally, the higher the enzyme dilution, the higher the amylose percentage. For example, in the graph it can be seen that the enzyme dilution with a 1:9 concentration increased over time. However, there is a drastic increase after four minutes, but this is most likely a result of the error that was encountered during the experiment. The undiluted enzyme and the enzyme dilution had a low amylose percentage because there was high enzyme activity. Also, there was an increase in amylose percentage with the enzyme dilution with a 1: 9 concentrations because there was low enzyme activity.
The data set used for this assignment was the grades.sav data file. The variables used were gender, GPA, total, and final. GPA and final were used in the histogram scales, along with skewness, kurtosis values, and scatter plot. This assignment included a sample size of (N) 105.

Data analysis is the process of bringing order, structure and meaning to the mass of collected data. It is described as messy, ambiguous, time-consuming, creative, and fascinating process but does not proceed in a linear fashion (Marshall and Rossman 1989, p. 112).

In order to discuss the biology of gender identity and sexual orientation, it is necessary to first examine the differences between multiple definitions that are often mistakenly interchanged: sex, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Sexual orientation is defined by LeVay (2011) as “the trait that predisposes us to experience sexual attraction to people of the same sex as ourselves, to persons of the other sex, or to both sexes” (p. 1). The typical categories of sexual orientation are homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual. Vrangalova and Savin-Williams (2012) found that most people identify as heterosexual, but there are also groups of people that identify as mostly heterosexual and mostly gay within the three traditional categories (p. 89). This is to say that there are not three concrete groups, but sexual orientation is a continuum and one can even fluctuate on it over time. LeVay (2011) also defines gender as “the ...
Gender roles and identity are constantly shifting throughout different societal generations. Men and woman both have notable similarities and differences in genders and they each contribute to their personalities and actions. In the past men have been viewed as a more dominant sex in society over women, both in careers, home life, and sexually, however, today women have bridged many of the gaps and society is accepting a more equal view of genders. The following examines the similarities and differences between men and woman by looking at biological characteristics, gender roles, and sexual responses.
