This project compares unemployment and employment rates at different ages in two Guyanese communities. [1] Data was collected through surveys of 60 individuals and grouped based on employment status and age. [2] Statistical analysis of the data included stem-and-leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots, frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and histograms. [3] The results found that the average age of employed individuals was 36 while the average age of unemployed individuals was slightly higher at 42.33.

Project Title

Probability and Statistics:


The comparison of Unemployment VS Employment at different ages
Purpose of Project
The aim of this project is to use statistical knowledge to compare Unemployment and Employment
at different ages in different communities in Guyana and deduce the probability of an individual
being Employed given that
Method of Data Collection
A quantitative research was carried out when the researchers conducted a survey in two different
communities in Guyana; Bourda and Bel Air. Since these were heavily populated communities, the
researchers decided that the data would be obtained randomly from 60 individuals.

In order obtain the data needed, 60 questionnaires were printed and 30 were distributed randomly in
each respective community.

The data collected was by the researchers, processed and organised, then the information was
divided in to 2 groups:

Group 1 contained the ages of Employed individuals.

Group 2 contained the ages of Unemployed individuals.

Copy of Questionnaire: located in the Appendix

Measures of Central Tendency

1. Mean - The mean (arithmetic average) is the sum of all the numbers (Σfx) divided by the
amount of values (Σf).

- Mean for Group 1 = (Σfx) / (Σf)

= 1080 / 30

= 36

- Mean for Group 2 = (Σfx) / (Σf)

= 1270 / 30

= 42.33 ( to 2 d.p)

2. Mode - The mode is the value with the highest frequency. It can be located on a histogram by
estimating the value(s) from the modal class(es).

- The mode of Group 1 is both 25 and 65. This tells us that bimodal.
- The mode of Group 2 is 20.

1. Median - The median is the middle value in a set of data. The data should be arranged in
numerical order. The Formula to find the median is Q2= (n+1) / 2.
