Satisfactory Essays

Graphic design is a field that is constantly growing, and as it grows the average wage continues to change. Graphic designers create visual concepts to communicate ideas to customers. Some of the responsibilities of being a graphic designer are creating recognizable logos for companies or creating advertising. Being a graphic design major, I was interested in seeing what the average income was for graphic designers. I discovered that most graphic designers work full time, but 29% of graphic designers worked free lance. After some research I was able to gather enough data to find out not only what the average income was, but also the average income for the state.

So the wages can definitely vary depending on where you live and work. After taking the sample I then checked to see if there was a sampling error. A sampling error is the difference between the data of a sample and the data of the parent population. After taking the mean of the sample which is $45,730 and subtracting the mean of the population from it, $48,730 I got a sampling error of $3,000. After this I checked to see if there was a non-sampling error, which is an error made from human mistakes. A non-sampling error can be found by subtracting the a new sampling error from the original sampling error. Even though I used random sampling there could still be an non-sampling error, and after conducting a second sample from the population I got $3,612 as my new sampling error. After subtracting my original sampling error I got a non-sampling error of $612. Which means that there was a sampling error of $612 above the average. After statistical analysis, I determined that the mean of the sample was $45,730 and the standard deviation was 6605.1917. So that would make the point estimate the mean of the sample, and you could infer from the sample that this was the mean of the population. After inferring from the sample the standard deviation of the population should be 6605.1917 also.
