Please search electronic media, articles or any publication that reports any descriptive statistic such as mean, median, mode, and/or standard deviation OR any inferential statistic such as margin of error, or confidence intervals.

Tip: Look for terms that you recognize from the readings to help you identify the statistic. Remember, descriptive statistics “describe” or organize the data; inferential statistics are values calculated on sample data and used to estimate the values in the population. Find the statistics/names of them, then compare them to your readings to help you determine which statistic you are including in your post – descriptive or inferential.

1. Copy and paste the data on the discussion forum.

2. Tell us the name of the statistic you see in the report: such as mean, median, mode, frequency table (descriptive statistic) or Confidence interval, Margin of Error, chi square, ANOVA, etc (inferential statistic). Be sure that you choose a statistic that you understand and can explain! (you might have to do a little extra reading/research to help you with this).

3. Tell us your interpretation of the data/statistic used in this study. What does it tell us?

4. Tell us whether your findings are descriptive statistic/s and/or inferential statistics.

5. Post a working link and/or URL to your data and the retrieval date.

6. Comment on at least one peer post.
