radodrill Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 The professor for my statistics class is asking us to take a sample of a target population and use the data to characterize that population. So I figured why not take a sample of my favorite web forum to classify the correlation between age, gender, and computer literacy/affinity. You are asked to identify a target population and infer some information about a characteristic of the population. Inferences should be based on materials covered in chapters 8 and 9 (i.e., quantile-quantile plot, normal quantile plot, box plot, confidence intervals, etc.)......... Raw data should not be included (sometimes they may go into an appendix, which we will not use). All I ask is that you provide your age, gender, and how tech savvy you think you are (beginner/average joe, Intermediate, High, Very high, Expert) The report is due to the professor on 2-May-08, so please provide your data by 30-April-08 Thanks for your help, I'm sure I can count on you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now she's going for her masters, so she's pretty advanced, I am sure she'll be glad to help if you have any questions. Her forum name is P.T.K. btw.

Guest Neezer Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 24/male/intermediate I like the idea...i am interested to see if you find anything of value here. ie. a correlation between age and tech savvyness....at a tech focused forum, there probably won't be too many people with low levels....might skew things a bit....just my 2 cents. but good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
