When looking at statistics in criminal justice, how do you feel
the mean, median, and mode are useful? Do you feel that there are
times when one is more valuable than another? How can these be used
to help deter crime?
What are the mean, median, and mode of a set of data, and how do
they differ from each other? What are the different type measures
of dispersion? Provide examples of each from your experience.
Explain the mean, median, and the mode
2. What is the variance and statistics?
3. What is meant by descriptive statistics and Inferential
statistics?
4. What is the difference between categorical variables and
numerical variables?
5. What is the difference between a population and sample?
6. What is conditional probability?
How do you find the mean, median, range, variance, standard
deviation and mode in Excel?
Say for example you have 2 columns.
One column the numbers are 4, 51, 27, 89, 15, 61
The 2nd column, the numbers are 33, 2, 90, 54, 31, 7
Statistics for Criminology and Criminal Justice
The probability of being acquitted in criminal court in
Baltimore, Maryland, is .40. You take a random sample of the past
10 criminal cases where the defendant had a public defender and
find that there were seven acquittals and three convictions. What
is the probability of observing seven or more acquittals out of 10
cases if the true probability of an acquittal is .40? By using an
alpha of .05, test the null hypothesis...
* Descriptive statistics:
o Find the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation for
the data set.
o Create a scatter plot for the data set.
* Regression Analysis:
o Perform a linear regression analysis onto the data set.
o Report the correlation coefficient, the equation of the
regression function, and make a few predictions base on hypnotical
input values.
o Write down a summary of your conclusions (How well does the
regression fit the values? How correlated are the...
Discuss the limitations of leadership in criminal justice
organizations. Do the best individuals become criminal justice
administrators or managers? If not, why not? In addition, are many
of the problems associated with or attributed to criminal justice
leadership really leadership problems? Using prison overcrowding,
as an example. Can we expect a prison warden to effectively manage
an overcrowded prison?
