Introduction
Mathematics can help individuals understand the relationship or correlation between different aspects of a specific culture. In particular, statistical tests can be used to determine how variables relate to each other (Module 1, 2022). For instance, a specific action can lead to another one. Considering the Hispanics or Latino dataset used in Module 1, it is evident that about 88% of people aged 25 years and above graduated from high school between 2015 and 2019 (United States Census Bureau, 2021). That shows that the literacy level of Hispanics is high, which might contribute to their success in running small and medium-sized enterprises. Mathematics helps people draw conclusions or make inferences about things based on the analysis of the available data. The paper focuses on how cultural issues can be identified using statistical analysis and how change agents can observe the trends and generate solutions to critical problems.
Part 1: Population Data
Step 1. Relate
Based on the Latino dataset, between 2015 and 2019, about 90.3% of households had a computer, and 82.7% had a broadband Internet subscription. When it comes to education, approximately 88% of young people aged 25 years and above graduated from high school, and 32.1% had a bachelor's degree (United States Census Bureau, 2021). In that light, it can be seen that the increased literacy in the use of computers enabled many students to access learning materials even at home since they had access to the Internet. That is why numerous learners graduated from educational institutions since they studied well due to appropriate reading materials. When more young individuals graduate, they get the appropriate knowledge and skills to get employed or start and operate their businesses successfully.
Step 2. Infer
Specifically, there exists a potential connection between the rates of employment among Hispanics in the United States of America (USA) and their increased literacy levels or the number of graduates. Based on the Latino dataset used in Module 1, the American civilian labor force employed around 63% of Hispanics aged 16 years and above between 2015 and 2019. Moreover, the percentage of females in the labor force rose to 58.3% in the same period (United States Census Bureau, 2021). That indicates that Latinos have realized that education is crucial and that it opens job opportunities for them in the USA. The lifestyle change, which will lead to cultural changes, has been realized using mathematics to determine the relationship between distinctive variables. Mathematics is an essential tool that facilitates comprehending various aspects of a specific culture.
Step 3. Add Support
