What Is Inferential Statistical?

We have established that descriptive statistics are used to summarize the key features of a data set. Inferential statistics, on the other hand, focus on generalizations of larger populations based on a sample of that population. Inferential statistics is more concerned with making predictions than stating facts. Its results are often expressed as probabilities.

Inferential statistics are based on inferential statistics being accurate. However, it is not surprising that the data used to calculate them must be representative of the greater population. This requires obtaining random samples. You’ve probably heard the term before in news coverage about scientific studies. Random sampling is said to produce better results. However, biased or non-random results are often discarded. Although random sampling is important in order to perform inferential techniques it can be difficult!

Let’s take a quick look at how we might get a random sample.

How Can We Get a Random Sample?

Random sampling can be complex and dependent on the characteristics of each population. The basic principles of random sampling are:

Definition of a Population

This is simply a way to determine the pool from where you will draw your sample. A population isn’t just limited to humans, as we have explained. It could also be a population that includes cats, dogs, cities, and other objects.

How to Choose the Right Sample Size

The larger your sample size, it is more representative of the entire population. Large samples can be costly, time-consuming and difficult to draw. This is why we draw large samples. It is not always possible to collect data from the entire population. The sample size you choose should be large enough that your results are reliable, but not too small to make the results unrepresentative. Descriptive statistics are a great way to achieve this balance between accuracy and size.

Randomly Choose a Sample

After you have determined the sample size you can draw random selections. This could be done using a random number generator. Each value is assigned a number, and the random numbers are selected randomly. You could also use a variety of similar methods or algorithms. We won’t go into details here as this is a complicated topic but you get the idea.

Analyze the Data Samples

You can then use the random sample to infer information about larger populations. A random sample may be representative of a population but it won’t always be 100% accurate. The mean (or average), of a sample won’t always match that of the entire population. However, it will give an idea of what it looks like. It is important to include your error margin in any analysis. We will cover this in a moment.

New York Information

Find Out About New York

New York is officially known as the State of New York. It is located in the Northeastern United States. To distinguish it from New York City, its largest city New York State is used. New York, which covers 54,556 sq. miles (141,300km2), is the 27th largest U.S. state. It is home to 20.2 million people and ranks fourth in the United States in terms of population. As of 2021, 44% of its residents live in New York City. This includes 25% of Brooklyn’s population and 15% of Long Island, which is the most populous US island. It is bordered by New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to its south and Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to its east. There is also a maritime border with Rhode Island east of Long Island and an international border to Canada with Quebec and Ontario to it’s northwest.

History

New York’s tribes were dominated by Iroquois (Haudenosaunee), and Algonquian. Long Island was roughly divided between the Wampanoag (Lenape) and Lenape. Most of New York Harbor was also controlled by the Lenape. North of the Lenape, there was a third Algonquian country, the Mohicans. From east to west, they were joined by three Iroquoian countries: the Mohawk, which was part of the original Iroquois Five Nations and the Petun. The Susquehannock, and the Erie were located south of them, roughly along Appalachia.

Major Cities & Towns

New York has 62 cities. New York City is the largest and most populous state city and is also the country’s largest. It is home to five counties, each coextensive of a borough: Bronx (New York County), Queens (Brooklyn), Bronx (Manhattan), Richmond County (Staten Island), and New York County. New York City houses more than two-fifths the state’s residents. Albany, New York’s capital city, is the sixth largest in the State. Sherrill in Oneida County, New York is the smallest city. Hempstead is the largest town in the state. It would be the second-largest city in New York if it were a municipality, housing more than 700,000. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, New York has 13 metropolitan areas. [136] The major metro areas are New York City, Buffalo and Rochester.

Climate

New York’s climate is humid continental. However, Long Island and New York City have subtropical climates according to the Koppen climate classification. Two continental air masses influence New York’s weather: one warm and humid from the southwest, the other cold and dry from the northwest. Downstate New York (which includes New York City, Long Island and lower Hudson Valley) has hot summers and some periods of high humidity. The colder winters are milder than those in Upstate New York due to its lower elevation, proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and relative lower latitude.

Population

New York, which was the most populous U.S. state for over a century, is now fourth behind Texas, Florida, and California. The uneven distribution of growth has led to uneven growth. While the New York City metropolitan region is growing along with Saratoga County, Buffalo, and Syracuse, cities like Rochester and Syracuse have been losing residents for decades [140], but have actually seen their population increase according to the 2020 census. New York City had more residents in April 2010 than any other U.S. city (223,615)

Economy

New York’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), in 2022-Q2, was US$2.0 trillion. The State of New York would be the 11th-largest economy worldwide if it were an independent country. The multi-state, New York City-centered metropolitan area produced a gross metro product (GMP), of US$2 trillion in 2019. This was a significant achievement that ranked first nationally and behind the GDP for only nine other nations.
