What are Descriptive Statistics? Essay
WHAT ARE DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS?
Before we continue the discussion about the basic descriptive data elements that are needed to
answer the question I previously posed, it is important to understand what we mean by descriptive
statistics. Descriptive statistics describe the features of the data collected. In other words, descriptive
statistics describe "what" the data looks like, but it does not tell you why or how data elements
interact or influence one another. Descriptive statistics provide a defender with summaries about the
data collected and these summaries may be either quantitative or visual. Quantitative descriptive
statistics are the sum of data points that are usually reported as total numbers or averages in a report.
For...show more content...
A defender can compile these numbers into simple graphics (i.e. pie charts, bar charts, diagrams), to
look at a picture that can graphically describe the data collected.
Inferential statistics are used to make predictions about the interaction (or correlation) between
different variables. With inferential statistics, you use statistical formulas to reach conclusions or
make predictions that extend beyond describing the total number variables found in the data that you
collect. For example, a defender can use inferential statistics to infer that the early appointment of
counsel improves dispositional outcomes for persons charged with the murder in the first degree.
You can use inferential statistics to explain an observed difference between certain types of cases
and say that the change (or improved outcome) is dependent on certain action and that the change in
that outcome did not happen by chance. By using inferential statistical analysis you can say that an
independent variable (a variable that stands alone and is not changed by another variable) is causing
a reaction in a dependent variable, and if you consistently observe specific reaction then we can we
say with certainty that the independent variable will consistently cause the same reaction (that it is
statistically significant) on the dependent variable. Inferential statistics are used to make predictions
from the data that allow you make generalizations about a specific set of circumstances.

Descriptive Analyses of the Essays and Short Stories
Narration and Description
THE STRATEGIES
Although the narrative and descriptive essays are often given as separate assignments in
composition courses, they are combined in this first section so that teachers can present expressive
writing and still reserve time for the many forms of informative and argumentative writing. This
choice is tricky because it confirms the folk wisdom about expressive writing and rhetorical
difficulty. According to custom, students can write narratives first because they are already familiar
with storytelling and can organize a personal experience according to simple chronology. Similarly,
students can write descriptive essays early because they can use their...show more content...
THE WRITING
The writing assignments that conclude this section ask students to experiment with these strategies
in their own essays. As students plan their first drafts, you should encourage them to see the
relationship between two lines of action: (1) the events as they happened in real time and space,
and (2) the events as they might be arranged and presented in an expressive way. Ask them to
consider how certain events in their essays will have to be telescoped or expanded to dramatize the
narrator's conflict or point of view. Once they have plotted the story line, they will be ready to write.
Each writing assignment sends students back to one of the essays for advice, evidence, and
stimulation. For example, assignment 2 suggests that students explore a personal experience in
which they had to perform an unpleasant deed (Orwell), assignment 3 asks students to chronicle
their own experiences with storytelling (Goodwin), assignment 4 asks students to parallel
surrounding and familial cultural events (Cofer), and assignment 6 invites students to offer their
own proof of the adage "seeing is believing" (Angelou, Dubus, Adams).
