The big data skeptics have been getting louder over the past few months, but the message doesn’t resonate too loudly. No one said big data was perfect data.

Question 1 (Rated - You need to be the first to get 5 rated questions right to get a price.)

The Press' supervisor of a newspaper is under pressure to find ways to print the newspaper near the time of distribution, thereby giving the editorial department staff room for last minute changes. You have the option of running the presses at a "normal" speed rate or 110% of normal (which is called "high"). Estimates indicate that the press have to operate at high speed 60% of the time. There are twice as likely chances that the roll of paper (newsprint coil) breaks if the machines run at high speed, which would imply a temporary suspension of the press.

a) If the coil of a randomly selected press has a chance to break of 0.112, what is the probability that the coil will not break if the machines run at normal speed?

b) If the probability that a coil is broken if the machines run at high speed is 0.20, what is the probability that a randomly chosen coil is broken if it works at normal speed?

I am inviting you to a workshop on Data analysis from 30 July to 4 August, 2012.

Duration:
The intensive training programme will run for one week. July 30 to August 4, 2012.

Training Workshop on

STATISTICAL DATA ANALYSIS
For Researchers

Venue
Professor Biyi Afonja Statistical Laboratory
Department of Statistics, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria

Date: July 30 – Aug. 4, 2012

Time: 9.00 a.m – 5.00 p.m daily
Introduction
An essential element of any research is statistical analysis and documentation of research findings. This is not limited to the science based discipline but peculiar to discipline in the Social Sciences, Technology, Education, Medicine and even the Arts.

The relative advantage of speed, accuracy and capacity to handle large volume of data in a few seconds have necessitated the use and application of specialized softwares for some common and complex data structures.

An intensive training workshop on the use and application of specialized statistical software in the analysis of data where participants will be exposed to practical application by experienced and competent professional statisticians and specialists.

Objective of the Training
To develop capacity on the use and applications of statistical software.
To expose participants to the theory, meaning and interpretation of some relevant statistical concepts.
To teach participants how to write programm to analyze complex models that cannot be handled by readymade packages.

Training Format
The training will utilize participatory approach for 6 days. It will include lectures, interactive teaching/learning methods. More hours will be devoted to practical session.

Statistical Packages to be offered
The Software to be used for the training are: E-Views; SPSS, STATA, R-Package, Statistical Plus, TSP and MATLAB
