The class focused on analyzing the age statistics of individuals of different racial backgrounds who were fatally shot by police. We looked at Asians (A), Blacks (B), Hispanics (H), Native Americans (N), Others (O), and Whites (W). Using Mathematica, we calculated several statistical measures for each racial category, such as median, mean, standard deviation, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. Here are the results:

For Asian (A) victims:
– Median Age: 35 years
– Mean Age: 35.96 years
– Standard Deviation: 11.59
– Variance: 134.38

For Black (B) victims
– Median Age: 31 years
– Mean Age: 32.93 years
– Standard Deviation: 11.39
– Variance: 129.70

For Hispanic (H) victims:
– Median Age: 32 years
– Mean Age: 33.59 years
– Standard Deviation: 10.74
– Variance: 115.42

For Native American (N) victims:
– Median Age: 32 years
– Mean Age: 32.65 years
– Standard Deviation: 8.99
– Variance: 80.90

For Other (O) victims:
– Median Age: 31 years
– Mean Age: 33.47 years
– Standard Deviation: 11.80
– Variance: 139.15

For White (W) victims:
– Median Age: 38 years
– Mean Age: 40.13 years
– Standard Deviation: 13.16
– Variance: 173.24

This analysis of age statistics is a part of a larger project, which will include hypothesis testing and additional reporting in subsequent classes.
