WHO MAKES THE INTERNET SO POPULAR? Culminating Project Marge Inoverror

What I wanted to find: Gain a better understanding how and why the Internet is used. Determine the reasons why some households are not using the Internet. Determine the reasons why some households are using the Internet. Categorize whom in specific uses the Internet more frequently. (Gender, age, education, income, race, etc.)

Important Findings

Educational Attainment

Household Types

Job status?

Single Variable Analysis

Graphical Representation

OUTLIERS?

Single Variable Conclusion The majority of the countries have 10% of their population with internet access. Higher percentages like 60% were the United States, United Kingdom, etc. Developing Countries vs. Industrialized Countries

Double Variable Analysis

Is there a trend between population & the countries internet access? Exploring further… Is there a trend between population & the countries internet access?

A Definite Trend All of these countries (22) had an internet use per capita Below .1 (Under 10%) -Over population & more poverty

Over .25 (25%) -All of these countries (23) had a per capita of over .25%. -Canada (4th point)

In order to access the internet… You need a computer!

GDP & Internet Use per Capita

How do most people connect?

More $$$, More Access

DISTRIBUTIONS

Age Vs. Internet Access

More Distributions: Asians and Hispanics had the highest amount of Internet use from the ages of 18-34.

Whites have the most percentage users over the age of 35.

Percentage of Visitors- Male Or Female?

Checks: Must have an “S” shape

Both male & female form a straight line A Normal Quartile Plot shows the distribution continuous (numeric) data. It plots the z-scores associated with the percentile of each case if the data were normally distributed. Therefore, if the data are Normal, the plot should show a straight line Both male & female form a straight line

One, Two, Three Standard deviations away… Male 1 std-dev: 69% 2 std-dev: 96% 3 std-dev: 100% Females 1 std-dev: 67% 2 std-dev: 96% 3 std-dev: 100% Therefore both data sets represent the normal distribution.

CONCLUDING FINDINGS Who makes the internet popular? What are some characteristics? High education level Family Households (2-4 people) Employed High GDP (Industrialized Countries)

Let’s be precise… Computer access= internet access Higher family incomes Ages: 30-50 Young Asians & Hispanics Older Whites Males- only slightly more than females
