Today, our classmate Mahnoor delivered a presentation in which she shared her insights on the percentage of people shot in a particular county. She discussed patterns in the data, focusing on how these incidents have occurred continuously over a period of time. Her analysis provided valuable perspectives on trends and potential factors contributing to these occurrences.
Week-4
Today, we explored various fundamental topics in statistics, including standard deviation and the standard normal distribution. Additionally, we engaged in a discussion on inference-based questions, particularly focusing on comparisons across different fields such as age, race, and other demographic factors. This discussion helped deepen our understanding of how statistical inferences can be applied to analyze and interpret data effectively.
Week-3
While analyzing the dataset, I came across several questions that could help me understand it better.
What is the racial and gender breakdown of individuals shot by police?
Are certain groups disproportionately affected?
What is the average age of individuals involved in police shootings?
Are younger or older individuals more frequently involved?
What percentage of the victims were unarmed versus armed?
What types of weapons were most commonly involved?
Week-2
Today, we engaged in a discussion about the Washington shooting dataset. Students actively participated by posing various questions related to the dataset. Professor G. Davis addressed these questions and elaborated on the key concepts, providing a concise yet insightful explanation to enhance our understanding of the topic.
Week 1
On the first day of the course, we were introduced to its structure and key components. This included an overview of the course materials, such as the required texts, instructional videos, and the criteria for assessments. Additionally, we received guidance on setting up a WordPress account using our college credentials. This account would serve as our primary platform for journaling and documenting our learning experiences throughout the course.
