Statistics for Data Analysis | Example for entry-level data analyst

Learn about statistics for data analysis. This video is perfect for entry-level data analysts aiming to grow their careers.

In this video, we critique a newspaper article by the Sydney Morning Herald ("Sydneysiders Flee to the Bush", Feb 2, 2021, written by Shane Wright and Jennifer Duke) for educational purposes. Specifically, we are teaching entry-level data analysts how to avoid falling into one of the most basic traps in data analysis: only quoting absolute numbers when relative numbers (or percentages) are more relevant.

Using an actual news story shows that, however simple, people in all walks of life keep making this mistake. I think it helps bring statistics for data analysis to life, making it simple for entry-level data analysts trying to grow their careers.
