The data used in this project was from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The numbers shown are Occupational Employment per each individual state and Hourly Mean Wage per each individual state that has reported to the Bureau of Labor. The states selected were mostly on the Eastern time zone with a few states that from the Central time zone. The plan of picking the states were to see an average employment number of the Atlantic Ocean, once I ran out of the states I focused on states north to the Gulf of Mexico the of the United States and the mean wage of these states. Once the twenty states were selected, I recorded the two sets of quantitative data creating two sets of populations for the project. This quantitative data was the Occupational Employment and Hourly Mean wage. From this data, I found the mean (1,115.5 and $24.9), median (950 and $24.00), mode (none and $23.00), range (3,820 and …show more content…
I can expect this because 45% of Interior Designers in these 20 states made the $23.00 to $27.00 an hour on the pie chart. Also, when looking at the hourly mean wage of each sample, the mean was $23.00 to 26.80 while all twenty states were at $24.90. Unfortunately, the outlook for careers seems minimal, 45% of the states on the east coast, have listed anywhere from 80 to 845 employed Interior Designers. While 35% of the 20 states have employed 846 to 1610 interior designers. While, I did not look at the correlation to the pay of the states and the hourly mean wage, I noticed that the states’ with a medium range (300 to 900) of Interior Designers were paid within the $23.00 to $27.00, Where states had 900 plus employees the wages seemed to go up, which could be from the metropolitan areas. The sates whom had less than 300 had pay less than $23.00, two of which had a mean hourly wage at $18.00 an
