For my final project I want to work with the cotton data. Previously, when we worked with the cotton data we found out how many days of labor were stolen from the enslaved people. For my final project, I would like to calculate how much it would cost to pay enslaved people today. Using labor… Continue reading Final Project Proposal
Class produced data
First, the code begins by reading the data. This step is essential because we want to make sure that we are using the correct and appropriate data before we begin to write the code. The next part of the code calculates the correlation between the amount of new cases and the average case. The squared… Continue reading Class produced data
Chi-Square
The chi-square test of independence determines whether or not The chi-square test of independence determines whether or not there exists a statistically significant relationship between categorical variables. The ultimate goal of the chi-square test is to determine if there’s a correlation between 2 variables. In order to do so, we must compare the observed distributions… Continue reading Chi-Square
Semester Reflection
Throughout this semester I’ve felt most successful with my contribution to class discussions. I usually tend to shy away from class discussions, however, this semester I have been going outside of my comfort zone which allows me to participate in class more often. Additionally, I feel successful in my understanding of the weekly readings and… Continue reading Semester Reflection
T-Test Interpretation
In lab 4 step 42, my lab partner and I decided to compare donations from two different towns. We chose Wilton and Farmington. First, we subset donations from Farmington and Wilton from the rest of the data. We use true or false arguments to figure out which donations were from both of these towns. Then,… Continue reading T-Test Interpretation
Human Center Design
I appreciated the human centered design exercise because I had the chance to ask questions to my partner and they also asked a lot of questions that were insightful. These questions guide my thinking in different directions that I might not have necessarily come up with on my own. Moreover, the question “why” kept coming… Continue reading Human Center Design
Casually Explained: Cotton Bales Data Visualization
The following histogram was produced from the lab. More specifically, the histogram was a result of the data when we worked with the weights for the bales of cottons. This histogram displays all of the weights for the cotton data. From the visualization, we observed that bales that weighed about 450 pounds were most common.… Continue reading Casually Explained: Cotton Bales Data Visualization
Cotton Weight Data
To completely understand the cotton weight data, someone would need quantitative values. For instance, they would need the unit price of cotton in pounds, the manufacturer’s price for each bale of cotton, and the profits they make from each pound of cotton. Lastly, they would need to know the different factors that affect the total… Continue reading Cotton Weight Data
Let’s talk coding experiences
I don’t have a lot of experiences working with code, but the few times I’ve had the opportunity to work with code have been a little bit frustrating. In previous classes, more often than not professors just provide students with a code and ask them to modify it. In other instances, professors go through the… Continue reading Let’s talk coding experiences
