I. Population Statistics • 1 st question: “Where is the data coming from? ” After all, Figures don’t lie, but the liars can figure! • Basic terminology: What does correlation mean? ? ?

Correlation Coefficient • • • Measures how related 2 variables are Shown as #s

Correlation Coefficient • • • Measures how related 2 variables are Shown as #s b/t +1 and -1 Determines: – STRENGTH • Closer to 1/-1 = strong correlation • Closer to 0 = weak/no correlation – DIRECTION (positive or negative) • Determined through statistical magic!

Practice determining Strength… Which is stronger? A. -. 8 or +. 5 B. .

Practice determining Strength… Which is stronger? A. -. 8 or +. 5 B. . 2 or -. 3 C. . 9 or. 1 D. . 5 or -. 52 E. -. 9 or. 9

Let’s look at Scatter Plots (they show the variables being measured) • Remember, close to zero = weak relationship/unrelated variables • Ask yourself: Is it going NE or SE? – NE = “Positive” = both variables increase OR both decrease (“direct relationship”) – SE = “Negative” = One variable increases other decreases (“inverse relationship”) • Correlations do NOT = causation!!!

Scatter Plots

Scatter Plots

TRUE or FALSE 1. If there seems to be no spatial relationship among the plots than there is a very weak or insignificant relationship among the two variables. 2. If the plots all fall along an imaginary line except for one, then the relationship has to be strong. 3. If all the plots fall along an imaginary line the relationship is 1. 0, or close to 1. 0.

Washing hands and likelihood of getting swine flu? Next scatter plot… what correlation coefficient would you expect?

Let’s relate this to something that affects you… • What do colleges look at

Let’s relate this to something that affects you… • What do colleges look at when you apply? • What is the relationship b/t the almighty GPA and college success (freshman year GPA) • How about the ALMIGHTY SAT score and college success? ? ? • Actual statistics: . 48 and. 42 respectively • What about combined? ONLY. 55!! Surprised? ? ? • Why are freshmen so unpredictable? ?

Question? If they really have no clue who will succeed and who will not, why use these statistics for admittance into colleges?

Why and how did the College Board change the SAT a few yrs. ago?

Why and how did the College Board change the SAT a few yrs. ago? According to the College Board…Did the changes to the SAT impact its predictive validity? • Our expectations are that the predictive validity of the total test will increase modestly with the addition of writing as a third measure of students' critical thinking skills. In a recent validity study, the SAT Subject Test in Writing was judged to be the best single test in predicting freshman grade point average for all ethnic/racial groups except Asian Americans. In that same study, adding SAT Writing Subject Test scores to SAT scores added. 02 to. 03 incremental validity above SAT and high school grades. Another study, conducted by the University of California, showed the Writing Subject Test added. 06 to. 08 to the overall predictive validity, while the most recent study indicates that it added. 02 for students in most majors except those in education; for those students, the increment rose to about. 06.

Our country has a lot of capacity. It has the capacity for many children to grow in it. It even has the capacity for 120 million people. Westerners have got problems.

Stage One = “High stationary” What is happening with CBR and CDR?

Causes of Stage One • • Lack of clean water diseases spread Inefficient sewage

Causes of Stage One • • Lack of clean water diseases spread Inefficient sewage diseases spread Food shortages famine Death rates fluctuate wildly – Wars – Diseases – Drought – Natural disasters

Stage Two = “Early Expansion”

Stage Two = “Early Expansion”

Stage Two = Decline in death rates: WHY? Setting: Europe and N. America (1800

Stage Two = Decline in death rates: WHY? Setting: Europe and N. America (1800 s) 1. Improvements in water supply, sewage, food handling 2. General personal hygiene (baths are now cool) 3. Increased female literacy 4. 2 nd Agric. Revolution = MORE FOOD! – Higher yields by farmers agricultural practices were improved – Mechanization of farming – New system of crop rotation • Leads to increase survival of the children • LDCs (1950 s) medical technology revolution

Stage Three = “Late Expanding” • Declines in birth rate WHY? – Drop in

Stage Three = “Late Expanding” • Declines in birth rate WHY? – Drop in IMR – Urban life too expensive/not enough space – Gains for women • • Increase in literacy rate More access to education – Postponing marriage – (Contraceptives were not widely available in the first half 20 th) • MDCs moved into Stage 3 during early 20 th • If LDCs are in Stage 3, they did so in the last 20 years

Stage Four = Low Stationary

Stage Four = Low Stationary

Stage 4: “Low Stationary” • Careers for women CBR = CDR – postpones marriage/childbirth

Stage 4: “Low Stationary” • Careers for women CBR = CDR – postpones marriage/childbirth – Rise of daycare more expensive • Wide access to birth control methods • DINKs MUCH more common lifestyle choice – Travel not conducive to raising a family – More freedom for people to enjoy life – NO KIDS TO MAKE THEM INSANE!! • What begins to happen at the very end of stage four? • Stage 5? ? ? – CDR exceeds CBR over many years – Not yet part of the DTM but much discussed and supported – Eastern European countries • Low birth rates • Aging population • Bleak future pollution, political instability, low economic growth rates, etc.

Population Pyramids and the DTM • You may be asked to determine which stage a country is in based on a pop. pyr. • Pyramid advice – how to analyze a pyramid: – Look at 4 things: • Top of the pyramid • Bottom of the pyramid • Any bulges/indentations in the pyramid? • The symmetry of the pyramid https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=s. So. SYm 4 AOls – Always refer to SPECIFIC POINTS on the pyramid!!! – Make sure to look at pyramids at different scales! – Think about what stage of the DTM the pyramid reflects

Do not write like this: “The map clearly shows that Japan’s population has steadily grown older and is in stage four of the demographic transition. ” Instead, use your head, write like this instead… “The map clearly shows that Japan’s population has steadily grown older; for instance, the chart shows that only about 7% of Japan’s population was over 65 in the 1970’s but that percent has more than doubled to over 18% in about 2003. This is evidence of being in stage four of the demographic transition. ”

Malthus had five siblings, but he only had three children • I think I may fairly make two postulata. First, That food is necessary to the existence of man. Secondly, That the passion between the sexes is necessary and will remain nearly in its present state. These two laws, ever since we have had any knowledge of mankind, appear to have been fixed laws of our nature, and, as we have not hitherto seen any alteration in them, we have no right to conclude that they will ever cease to be what they now are, without an immediate act of power in that Being who first arranged the system of the universe, and for the advantage of his creatures, still executes, according to fixed laws, all its various operations. . Assuming then my postulata as granted, I say, that the power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. – Malthus 1798

Neo Malthusian Geeks = is Earth a closed system? • There is a limit on population; it’s just higher than Malthus estimated • Gap b/t resources and population in some countries is wider than Malthus assumed • LDCs are getting relatively poorer and less access to resources • Population growth is depleting ALL resources NOT just food production – Wars and violence will occur b/t peoples competing for resources – Earth won’t sustain pollution or huge population numbers
