Summary from Video

The video opens with video images with statistical questions which are the space shuttle
explosion, the pollution monitoring of lake and the use of aspirin to prevent heart attack.
These statistics can be divided into three main areas which are describing data, collecting
data, and draw conclusions from data.
To describe the data
The meteorologist describes the study of lightning. Statistical methods used to shows the data
of lightning versus time and shows a striking data patterns in the noon. Next, about the
children seems to grow slowly after the age of 2. Her graph growth pattern helped diagnose
growth hormone deficiency and lead to successful treatment and she become normally
growth same with other children. Manatee are often injured or killed by boat. Investigation
statistical relationship between the number of registered boats and the number of Manatee
killed showed that have a strong relationship.
To produce the data
Environmental studies by biologist are shown in Chesapeake Lake, sampling water and mud
under studies are designed to collect statistical data. Then the medical explore that
experiments that compared the effects of aspirin with placebo and found that aspirin can
reduces the rate of heart attacks among middle-aged men. The final illustration presented by
public opinion polls, both of polls conducted by academic researchers studying public
attitudes and how they have changed over the years. Lastly, statistics are also useful in
measuring and analyzing the reliability of spaceship components to secure whiles the
launching process. Any probability especially the connection each component must be
analyzed to make sure that the spaceship is in the best condition.
Conclusions from data
We get to see historic lawsuit in which FBI agents and Hispanic taking the win. Both parties
submit data to support their claims. Lastly is to Baltimore, where experiments compared that
the welfare system and concluded that the new system do better in helping mothers welfare to
move into the workforce.
