what do you call a conclusion we draw about a population?

Answer:\nA parameter.\n\nMore information:\nPicture this - You have a population, a large population you want to investigate. So you carry out a survey. You only survey 100 subjects because it's too expensive/impractical to survey the whole population. \n\nAll the facts you find out about those 100 subjects are called 'statistics'. E.g. "40% of those 100 subjects were.. say.. aliens" - is a statistic. (Excuse my uncreative example-giving (dis)abilities.) \n\nNow, if 40% of those 100 subjects are aliens, could we say 40% of the whole population are aliens? (The population that those 100 subjects came from.) Whether that is an accurate conclusion or not.. this is the study of inferential statistics. \n\nHowever, the point is.. the conclusion that "40% of the population are aliens" is the parameter, and that it's based on the statistic you drew from your sample. (Population Parameter, Sample Statistic).

I believe this means, first of all, to write up the statistics in kind of an essay (textual) rather than tabular format. In other words, describe what the data in the statistics represents, give the all-around total numbers, and then using the demographic information-age, sex, ethnicity, socio-economic status-whatever you have, break down the numbers from the totals showing how they relate to and between the demographic sub-groups.

I don't know the answer, but it's a good point.

People generally make an estimate.\n\nWise people will check their judgements.

6,520,596,828 at the time of my posting.\n\nThat's the up-to-the-minute estimate from the US Census bureau.\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html\n\nEDIT ----------\nIn response to question from another asker, that estimate is based on many factors and is only an estimate.  "The populations displayed on the clock are not intended to imply that the population of the world is known to the last person. Rather, the clock is our estimate of the world population size and an indication of how fast it is growing."\n\nMore info at this site:\nhttp://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popwnote.html\n\nAlso interesting is the US population clock:\nhttp://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html\nThey list here their assumptions on births and deaths.

Nice conclusions, not very factual, but nice!

the conclusion should just briefly summarize the main points in the body of the essay. you can also include your general opinion

A precise population clock cannot exist because we really don't know how many people there are by the exact number. It maybe possible to make one that rounds off to maybe the nearest thousand.

no.  \npopulation- how many people\neconomy-study of a nations spending.

pro choice.\n\nwith 6.2 Billion people on the planet, don't you think it's about time we start thinking about population control?\n\nNow if only the rest of the planet would start thinking this way

Overpopulation, all problems can be tied into population increase...think about it.

We are overpopulated. Our activities are having a major impact on the environment. Many species of plant and animal have been made extinct and their blood is on our hands. We are no longer a population.. we are an infestation.

Approximately, an estimate of many.

The theorem to use is the pigeon hole principle.\nOrder all the people in the US by the number of hairs they have. This number will go from 0 to 200000. Next number all people starting from the first one in line, starting from zero. We can assume this guy to be bald, i.e. zero hairs.\n\nNow walk down the line. Whenever you find a person having less hairs than his ranknumber, you have found two persons with the same number of hairs.

True. You're pretty close. According to wikipedia, as of late 2006 the population reached 6.5 billion.
