Using the Statistics Canada website for your MDM4U Culminating Project www.statcan.ca Joel Yan and Jennifer Hall Statistics Canada

Begin by reading about your topic The Daily Statistics Canada's online newsletter that provides new information every weekday Over 10 000 articles with links to detailed data Write down the CANSIM table numbers Statistics by Subject Over 2 400 analytical articles from our data experts

Browse Summary tables to find data that interest you over 500 tables of up-to-date info usually five years of data links to more detailed data on E-STAT (write down the CANSIM table #) links to related Daily articles, publications, and surveys

Summary Table Example: Beverages

Explore the same data in depth using E-STAT Enormous database for students and teachers, containing Census and CANSIM data CANSIM: over 36 million time series from 250 different surveys e.g., average annual consumption of hundreds of foods, including beer Possible research question: How has beer consumption changed over the last 40 years in Canada?

Look for a related factor and extract this series from E-STAT What could help explain changes in average beer consumption in Canada?

Use Fathom or Excel to analyze this relationship

Use individual case data for in-depth analysis Download the following microdata files from the math data page: 2001 Census 1991 Census National Longitudinal Survey on Children and Youth (16-17 year olds) Joint Canada/US Survey of Health http://www.statcan.ca/english/kits/courses/smath2.htm

Data analysis using microdata Analysis question: What is the impact of the number of years of schooling on income?

Years of schooling vs. income

Income by age for high school graduates

Income by age for university graduates

Results from this analysis The more years of schooling, the higher the average income Completing university allows for more growth in income with age
