I would like to propose a class entitled Analyzing Political Science Statistics, that would be offered through the Statistics Department as an Honors College class. This class would prepare students to analyze the types of statistics they would be looking at if they worked for a government agency or an agency that prepared statistics about topics, such as a president's approval rating. This class would add variety to the math classes that are offered by the Honors College since most of the math classes
Statement of Purpose - Jessica Mao for Fall 2016, University of Colorado at Denver (UC Denver), PhD in Applied Mathematics (Statistics Focus) During orientation in my second year of Teach for America, my school district presented graphs and figures boasting improved standardized test performance and graduation rates. Teachers began cheering and patting each other on the back. Meanwhile, I squinted at the PowerPoint slide, trying to make sense of a glaring error in the bar graph displayed. If such
Personal Statement “Stop studying math so hard, girl. How will math help you?” My high school classmate Yijie jeered at me when I told him I wanted to major in mathematics and computer science. “Such complex subjects are just not suitable for women.” Although Yijie was not an old-fashioned person, he insisted that women were inferior in high technology fields. In my country, China, this gender stereotype still affects women’s lives, from major placement decision to their career path choice. I strongly
statistical analyst because I love statistics. Furthermore, I am very organized which I believe is an important skill in every position, . I took AP Statistics last year, so I understand all the computations that need to be made, and I have all the necessary software to create graphs and other visual aids. Because I have taken statistics, I understand how to make more advanced calculations, so I believe that I am best suited for this position. When I took AP Statistics, it was my best class, and it is
first discovered my interest in statistics in my sophomore year at the University of California, Berkeley. In a statistics lecture, the professor explained how statistics can be applied in real life by giving an example that Amazon often promotes products by emailing its customers and recommending products according to sophisticated analysis of customers’ search records, as well as their transaction data. Previously having been immersed in the world of abstract statistics, I realized that in addition

Descriptive statistics for CPI and SPI after transforming to normal and near-normal distribution are as in Table 5.7.

take further interest in Statistics. The first time I read this book, I was intrigued by some common but interesting cases. For instance, many real-life phenomena are not 50:50 bets, like tossing a coin, but have various unusual and counter-intuitive distributions. These examples really fascinated me as it made me realise that many of my initial thoughts even about ‘run-of-the-mill’ matters were false. As a result, I have become very motivated to understand more about statistics to identify the flaws

STATISTICS AND DECISION-MAKING IN HRM (word count 1155) The word statistics has a Latin origin where the word status means state. Statistics is defined as the science that helps us understand how to collect, organize and interpret numbers or other information (data) about some topic (Bennett, et al., 2003). It is a discipline of data collection and summarizing to aid understanding and decision-making. It is also concerned with evaluation of the present status and predicting the future (Stockberger
