Statistical Analysis

1. Choose two data set.  In some circumstances, depending of the data set chosen, you may want to use more than 1.
2. Ask three (3) relevant questions relating to your data set. Consider:
a. Who is your audience?
b. What information does your visualisation intend to convey to your audience?
3. When developing questions, try to think of yourself as a data analyst, and consider all of the different kinds of analysis tasks that a person might want to perform.
4. Extract the relevant data to answer each question. For example, you may use nominal and numeric data types to represent data and your data extraction may include mean, maximum, minimum, mode, or more sophisticated analyses.
5. Visualise your data: Select appropriate representations and interactions of the data for your nominated audience.
6. Check if your data representations can answer your questions.
7. Convert your data values to graphical form. Select the most effective visual encoding to convert data values to graphical form, such as colour, area, charts, interactions.
8. Briefly analyse your data visualisation and discuss the insight it provides. For example, how do your visual displays support answering the questions you asked above? What story are you telling with your data?

Gender, work and migration: Deskilling Chinese immigrant women in Canada. Women’s Studies International Forum

Man, G. (2004). Gender, work and migration: Deskilling Chinese immigrant women in Canada. Women’s Studies International Forum, 27(2), pp. 135-148.
a. (12 marks) Write a 3-2-1 report on the article using the form provided on Coursespaces.
2. (4 marks) [True/False and Why] Early Chinese immigrants to British Columbia were unskilled, single, male workers who smoked opium to relieve the stress of being separated from their families and facing discrimination. British Columbia’s demand for opium quickly became so large that over a dozen factories had to be built in Victoria  just to satisfy the needs of Chinese immigrants on Vancouver Island. This industry ended when the U.S. lowered its tax on opium, meaning Victorians could import it more cheaply from San Francisco than they could make it locally.
True or False? Why?
3. (8 marks) [Graphing] Chinese immigrants came to Victoria looking for, among other things, a better income than the one they could earn in China.  However, on arriving in Canada they would have faced a number of fees and taxes in their first year.

In this question, you will use available historical sources to answer the question, ‘How many years of working in China would it take to pay the fees faced by Chinese immigrants in their first year in Victoria?”
