Statistics Project I have been given instructions to collect data for my GCSE statistics coursework and then to represent them by interpreting them using graphs and attributes, which I think influence the prices of a second hand car. Below is my coursework flowchart that will show the steps I will take to complete my coursework. FLOWCHART ========= 1.Formulate my hypothesis [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE] 8.

Math Statistics Project My main factor I am investigating is going to be weight. For the majority I aim to investigate the effect of weight on height. I am also going to look at the frequency of different weight groups among people. · The height will be measured in cm. I will keep it continuous by not asking the people to place their heights into groups, but instead enter their heights. This will be Quantitive data. · The weight will be measured in cm. I will keep it continuous
Football Statistics Project Introduction ------------ I have chosen to base my project on football statistics because they are both readily available and interesting enough for deep analysis. As a starting point I decided to look at the generally accepted theory of 'Home Advantage'. Home advantage, or the tendency for the home team to do better than they would away, could have several causes. It could be partly psychological - the home team would almost always have the majority of
Statistics Project to Compare House Prices Comparison of House Prices' in two areas: Hypothesis: I believe that the house prices in the Consett area will be more expensive that the house prices in the Washington area. Introduction: I obtained a list of seventy houses for each area. I decided to do seventy, as I felt I would obtain a more accurate reading for my report. I attained my information from the internet, from various estate agents sites, www.harrington-brown.co.uk and
2. If I introduce someone this morning to the mean, median, and mode of a set of data, I would be introducing them to descriptive statistics. These types of statistics are used to organize and describe the characteristics of a collection of data. The collection is sometimes called a data set or just data. A fine example of this type of data would be the numbers I calculated in question number one. I can describe each group by their average score, their most often score or the score in the middle
statistician. It is a career that collects data and report the conclusion from the data. Statistics plays an important role in the economic. Since we are living in a world that is heavily depends on economic, statistician can easily affect the world. Not to mention, math is one of the subject that I am best at. Therefore, it would be a wise to choose a career that is deeply involve in math. There are many benefit being a statistics, such as high salaries, free access to several program, and more opportunity
data analytics has played an important role in today’s world. Since personal loan is only a niche within the financial industry, I would like to broaden my horizon of data analytics to meet my long-term goal. Entering a full-time master program in statistics at Stanford University, where I can learn the principles and applications of advanced statistical methods in data analytics, such as machine learning, data structure and computational algorithm, therefore becomes the best option for me. I believe
way to encourage me to take my math classes more seriously (and it worked!) When watching an episode of criminal minds, my mom’s saying came into mind and I was left wondering if what my mom said was true. Once my teacher introduced this Math IA project, I took it as the perfect opportunity for me to explore an issue that had been bugging me for a while, which was: Math in Court. However, when I was doing a little but of background information... ... middle of paper ... ...entity beyond a reasonable
times complex, my love for it is derived from its simplicity in terms of logic. For example, 1 plus 2 can never be equated to anything else but 3. Over the years, this passion for mathematics has grown exponentially particularly in the field of statistics and probability. Fewer things give me gr...
The first law of geography states that “Everything is related to everything else but near things are more related than distant things” (Tobler, 1970 p236). In statistics, we call this phenomenon as spatial autocorrelation. In general sense, we can define the spatial autocorrelation as the extent to which objects or activities in the geographical proximity are related to other objects or activities on the surface of earth. In spatial analysis, we are dealing with information that is quite distinct
Introduction This project integrates the concepts of curriculum design, together with aspects of lesson planning taking into consideration the abilities, level and learning styles of the students. In addition, utilizing the practices put forward under constructivism, we aim to encourage participation and interest of students, within group and individual activities. The teacher acts as facilitator and guide, providing support, feedback and praise where applicable. Bruner and Haste (1987) described
for developing public health initiatives. During my MPH training, program statistics classes provided me with a better understanding of the underlying assumptions associated with statistical testing, and helped me to adapt this knowledge to simulated problem sets. Moreover, I experienced the utility of data analysis to address community health problems while assisting with the Delavan-Grider project. The Delavan-Grider project was designed to improve the health of the community adjacent to the Erie
For years, I was surrounded by people who would react astonishingly when I told them my academic profession. In high school it was physics, in Fudan University it was computer science, and I’m beginning statistics - all fields that aren’t as common for girls. “Wow…” they’d say, as they scanned me from face to toes. It would be unreasonable if I claim that I had never questioned my choice, especially during the adaptation period into computer science as a rookie. I can still recall the desperation
analyze and discuss widespread presence of gang and non-gang membership while accessing attitudes between a diversified sample of youth girls and youth boys across the United States. This empirical article meets the requirements for the capstone project while it is based upon a criminological theory, the chosen social learning theory in examining the subject related to gender and gangs. This study was conducted in the spring of 1995, that builds upon an existing research from the prior year’s 1993-94

Analysis of Flawed Research The following article analysis review by Team B illustrates and identifies several examples of statistics abuse in the practical world as a result of flawed research. The following examples demonstrate how a manger could and in many examples, does make erroneous decisions due to inaccurate statistics. The team has compiled the results by detailing the respective articles. In the article, Pentagon Decision Making: seriously flawed, Karen Kwiatkowski witnessed first
Companies have transformed technology from a supporting tool into a strategic weapon.”(Davenport, 2006) In business research, technology has become an essential means that many organizations use in their daily operations. According to the article, Analytics is a major technological tool used. It is described as “the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and actions."(Davenport, 2006) Data is compiled
effects to those experiencing it. A study from ‘Edinburgh Youth Transitions and Crime’ shows that, “Young people living in a family where the head of the household was unemployed were also more likely to participate in criminal behaviour,” (The Borgen Project, 2018). This suggests that poverty influences everyone living in and around it. Having explored the area of Drumchapel one came across an old ‘youth centre’ however, this was closed, run down and covered in graffiti. This undoubtedly has a negative

According to ABS of 2012, the total population of local Maitland residents was 71,866. Among the overall population males and female numbers were 35,617 and 36,239 respectively (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2012).

Holt exponential smoothing modelling Simple exponential smoothing does not do well when there is a trend in the data, which is inconvenient. In such situations, several methods were devised under the name "double exponential smoothing" or "second-order exponential smoothing", which is the recursive application of an exponential filter twice, thus being termed "double exponential smoothing". This nomenclature is similar to quadruple exponential smoothing, which also references its recursion depth
