Statistics Group Project 1(JH: make the title exciting) Student 1 and Student 2 Fall Semester 2012
Our Project (JH: DO NOT DO WRITE OUT COMPLETE SENTENCES like this group did!) • For our project we selected climate as our FBI topic area of interest and used city-data.com as our source. • We then decided to choose population size, percentage of prominent race, unemployment rate, and robbery. • From this point, we gathered data and began making graphs to better present what we found. • Enjoy!
Warm Climates Cold Climates • Phoenix, AZ Anchorage, AK • Tucson, AZNew York, NY • Los Angeles, CA Billings, MT • San Diego, CA Missoula, MT • Sacramento, CADetroit, MI • Jacksonville, FL Grand Rapids, MI • Miami, FL Minneapolis, MN • Columbia, SC St. Paul, MN • Albuquerque, NM Fargo, ND • Santa Fe, NM Bismarck, ND • Houston, TX Portland, ME • San Antonio, TX Baltimore, MD • Dallas, TX Philadelphia, PA • Austin, TX Seattle, WA • Fort Worth, TX Spokane, WA
The Connection Between Hot Weather And Crime (JH: no-no!) • By looking at the number of robberies reported in the warmer cities in relation to that of the cold cities, it is proven that more crime happens in warmer areas. • The warmer weather gives more of an opportunity for crime to occur with people being outside or on vacation, leaving their belongings to be unattended. • Source for all graphs- http://www.city-data.com
