Chapter 1 – Stats Starts Here Section 1.1 1. Grocery shopping. Discount cards at grocery stores allow the stores to collect information about the products that the customer purchases, what other products are purchased at the same time, whether or not the customer uses coupons, and the date and time that the products are purchased. This information can be linked to demographic information about the customer that was volunteered when applying for the card, such as the customer’s name, address, sex, age, income level, and other variables. The grocery store chain will use that information to better market their products. This includes everything from printing out coupons at the checkout that are targeted to specific customers to deciding what television, print, or Internet advertisements to use. 2. Online shopping. Amazon hopes to gain all sorts of information about customer behavior, such as how long they spend looking at a page, whether or not they read reviews by other customers, what items they ultimately buy, and what items are bought together. They can then use this information to determine which other products to suggest to customers who buy similar items, to determine which advertisements to run in the margins, and to determine which items are the most popular so these items come up first in a search. 3. Parking lots. The owners of the parking garage can advertise about the availability of parking. They can also communicate with businesses about hours when more spots are available and when they should encourage more business. 4. Satellites and global climate change. This rise and fall of temperature and water levels can help in planning for future problems and guide public policy to protect our safety. Section 1.2 5. Super Bowl. When collecting data about the Super Bowl, the games themselves are the Who. 6. Nobel laureates. Each year is a case, holding all of the information about that specific year. Therefore, the year is the Who. 7. Health records. The sample is about 5,000 people, and the population is all residents of the United States of America. The Who is the selected subjects and the What includes medical, dental, and physiological measurements and laboratory test results. 8. Facebook. The Who is the 350 million photos.
