Statistics Scientist Career Guide and Counseling

Question: What are the statistics for scientists and global warming? What percentage of scientists think that global warming is caused by humans? Please tell me your sources because I don't want any biased BS.

Answer: Regarding the following study, http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Dor… The survey was sent to *only* scientists at universities or government institutions. Over 2/3 of PhD graduates (scientists) enter the private sector, i.e. not universities or government institutions. I think it is fair to say that academia and government workers are decidedly "liberal" and tend to take on the AGW support role. While I doubt that the majority of the scientists who enter the private sector qualify as "conservative" the report neglects the vast majority of scientists. This is what statisticians would call a biased result, in other words a result that should be taken only at face value and for nothing more.

Question: Does anybody has the solution Manual for Probability and Statistics for engineers and Scientists by Anthony H? I am looking for the full solution manual for Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists by Anthony Hayter 3rd edition.

Answer: Ok, the Anthony's solution manual of the 7th edition is shared through torrents, download the torrent here : http://rapidshare.com/files/147919136/-_… use torrent programe to download Total size : 6.6 Mb If not familiar with torrents share, just send me a messege. Good luck.

Question: Statistics showing percentage of scientists who support global warming as a theory? I am trying to find some stats on the percentage of scientist who believe that human activities contribute to global warming. And what the percentage is that think it is just a natural phenomena.

Answer: Over 97% of climate scientists and 82% of Earth scientists agree that humans are a significant contributing factor to the current global warming. Basically the more expertise a scientist has in climate science, the more likely he is to believe that humans are causing it.

Question: How do computer scientists use statistics at the level of "1" and "0"?

Answer: I'm not sure what you're asking. A binary digit (bit) has only two possible values, so its probability distribution is nonzero in at most two places. A hexadecimal digit has 16 possible values. A 32-bit integer has around 4 billion possible values. Statistical software often uses floating-point format, usually 32- or 64-bit.

Question: Why do people always want statistics for a lot of questions that are asked? When you ask, why do poor black neighborhoods have more crimes than poor white or hispanic neighborhoods, people want statistics, even though if you are observent in your own life, you would see that there is more crime in poor black neighborhoods. If you ask basically anything that makes a claim, people want statistics, its like only what scientist research matter, and its as if our own observations doesn't matter anymore.

Answer: That is true i believe what i personaly see more than that scientific crap they over analyze EVERYTHING, so it isn't worth anything.

Question: Aren't the Census and US Vital Statistics engaging in pseudoscience? Everything they do is because it was written into law. The Congressman don't even read the bills which are hundreds of pages long. The President then signs the bill as a stimulus package and then the government bureacrats enforce the law just for the sake of it and could care less where the grant money goes because they have no incentive to get accurate statistics. It is hardly the way a scientist does research which is to do a study and then submit the findings to a peer-reviewed journal and see if other scientists are able to replicate the data.

Answer: Your statement has nothing to say about what is wrong with the data that comes from the census. The census is mandated by law, and it is the basis for determining the number of Representatives in Congress that come from each state. The census was also used to determine the number of draftees were to come from each state during the Vietnam debacle. This information is not scientific research. It uses statistical methods that are used to make estimates, not necessarily exact numbers. It costs so much to do a census that no institution would have the money to run it more than once per decade.

Question: How to be a forensic scientist? I'll be going into 7th grade and I truly want to be a forensic scientist, but even in high school they don't offer any courses that specialize in it. Should I take statistics or calculus in high school? Exactly what kinds of classes should I take for my three years of highschool when taking Earth science in 7th, physical science in 8th, and advanced biology in 9th? what other things should I study?

Answer: Ok Take Calculus. and Just little Electives like Gardening so you can learn about plants,( that can be handy on the job) take Track so you can be in great shape in case you have to tackle some one or run after someone. Take a Disecting Class. Trust me its Very cool and not as Bad as it sounds. Plus you learn about the Animal before looking at it thus learning bout its Various parts Helping you out on the Job. Just little things like that. and Maybe some class that will sharpen your eye. goodluck!

Question: What topics from statistics and probability theory should budding Computer Scientists study?

Answer: take a look at Markov processes which can be used in some machine learning applications. Poisson processes can model random system errors.

Question: Which statement is not how a scientist should act when using the scientific method? Which statement is not how a scientist should act when using the scientific method? solve problems that have a practical application to daily life make measurements as exactly as possible and with precise instruments use statistics to adjust data to prove the hypothesis reduce experimental error as much as possible

Answer: use statistics to adjust data to prove the hypothesis
