Week #4 in CEDO 540 - Z Scores and Data Mining

This week we wrapped up our research project involving Facebook users and their Internet habits.  It was neat to do some data analysis on our survey.  You can check it out below:

We also did some work with z-scores and talking about how you can use normal distributions to look at data.  It has been interesting to use statistics for meaningful comparisons of data.

Lastly, this week we did some predictions about what the future would look like in terms of technology.  We took a look at Bill Tancer's use of data and data mining techniques. If you are interested in this data and how scary it can be take a look at the You Tube video below:
