STAT3001 Walden University Week 2 Comparing Statistical Studies Disscusion Need help with the Disscusion, This assignment will be due on Tuesday, But i need help with it . Discussion: Comparing Statistical Studies
Statistics are all around us, whether or not we notice them being used. From public
policy, health, economics, science, culture to which foods a fast-food restaurant is going
to serve next can all be influenced by how the results of statistical studies are
operationalized and interpreted.
Each chapter of your course text concludes with two “Focus on” sections that go into
depth on important issues of our time. The topics of these sections were chosen to
demonstrate the great variety of fields in which statistics plays a role. For this
Discussion, you are going to review and compare two statistical studies.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Think about your degree major and your areas of interests, and then concentrate on two
of the following “Focus on” disciplines: Agriculture, Criminology, Economics, Education,
Environment, Health & Education, History, Law, Literature, Politics, Psychology, Public
Health, Social Science, Sociology, or The Stock Market
Review the readings from this week’s Learning Resources, as well as the complete list
of the “Focus on” topics to choose from
Choose two of the studies to compare for this Discussion
For each study, consider the sample population used, errors that could occur in the
research process, and how meaningful and important the results of the study are
By Day 3
Post a 2- to 3-paragraph response that includes the following information:
Identify two “Focus on…” sections you have chosen to review and provide a brief
summary of the content.
For each topic, discuss whether you think the sample is representative of the population
being studied. What criteria did you use to decide this?
Was the sample chosen in a way that is likely to introduce bias? What kinds of errors
are likely to be associated with each study? Explain.
Based on what you read, do you believe that the results of each study are meaningful
and important? Explain.
Based on the responses above, which do you think is the stronger study? Why?
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources or
to something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
