Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
that, even assuming the use of localized polling, trends reported in one region might not necessarily reflect the reality of trends in another region, and so on. Acquiring information about
the characteristics of a large population requires the use of a more sophisticated form of statistical analysis which includes sampling from a representative and randomly selected population. When this is
done correctly, researchers can expect reliable results from analyses of even large populations. This paragraph helps the student provide an example of just such a survey. One study which demonstrates
this truth quite well is a recent report by Flynn and Hill, which analyzes the change in the population of English language speaking children across the United States (Flynn &
Hill, 2005). The report tracks changes from 1979 to 2003, and develops trends by applying statistical analysis to available demographic data. It reveals that while the number of children aged
5 to 7 increased just 19% during that time, the number of children who spoke a language other than English at home, or who had difficulty speaking English themselves rose
by a staggering 124% (Flynn & Hill, 2005). The analysis also projects that by the year 2030, roughly 40 percent of the school age population will primarily speak a language
other than English (Flynn & Hill, 2005). Trends such as these can prove to be quite significant in projecting the future course of a population. If it were truly
the case that the incidence of English in the school-age population were to shift so dramatically by 2030, schools would likely be unprepared to cope with the changes and effectively
educate students. However, through the use of statistical analysis, schools can recognize the likelihood of this event occurring and prepare accordingly by developing pre-emptive strategies to ensure continuation of service.
