The statistics that are reported depend on the quality of the data gathered, the data analysis, and how the resulting numbers are reported. It is important to understand that all of these aspects factor in to how we perceive the data, and, moreover, how that data impacts us. It is also important to understand the difference between absolute numbers and relative numbers. In a small population, 1000 events may be very significant, however, in a large population, 1000 events might just be in the noise. To complete this project, you will use the Excel file that is located under Course Resources > Course Documents in Brightspace, which reports data through April 26, 2021. Select two states (Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, California, Texas, or New York/NYC) and compare and contrast their COVID-19 data from January 2020 through April 2021 with regard to positive cases and deaths. The goals of this project are 1) to familiarize yourself with the process of data analysis, 2) to understand the difference between cumulative data and absolute data, 3) to understand the difference between absolute data and relative data, and 4) to encourage you to really look at data and decide for yourself what it is showing. Please go to the CDC web page from which the data was uploaded and read about the data itself (https://data.cdc.gov/Case-Surveillance/United-States-COVID-19-Cases-and-Deaths-by-State- o/9mfq-cb36). This is where you can get much of the required information for the Methods section. MAT2058 Projex...docx docx (1).pdf The Republic O....docx Show All X
