welcome to the first tutorial of
introduction to statistics class frantic
call
i'm Elizabeth Dalton and i'm going to
be doing a brief overview
perhaps to complete project one
concerning women container
in my example i'm going to be looking at
this person, Ada Lovelace, who was a real
person
a historical person
night she died
at the age uh... thirty six
in the year eighteen fifty two
and so i'm going to be looking at isn't
hypothetical if she had lifting
where which should be living
in eighteen sixty one here's what we
know that a two-level issues pointing
eighteen fifteen
insane george london
she married him eighteen thirty-five to
women who at the time was known as
william came to entertain
the role of lovelace at his full title
became william lord earl dot please can
i missed the point at which she became
italy lovelace recount s lovelace
in eighteen forty one she was sitting in
seeking square westminster london
eighteen fifty one
sussex
again she diving eighteen fifty two
melbourne london
so for our first project
we are asked to decide what
region of london what neighborhood of
london
our character
that we are writing about
which is tool into identify at least two
variables that might be used to make a
decision like that indicate whether
those variables are quantitative co
categorical and describe the sampling
method that we think
we will use
to make that decision
a little bit of background that ate a
lot of places probably a good idea she
was considered first computer programmer
she wrote about algorithms to be used
and she might call it the analytical
engine created by trust back
trust babbitt was aku researcher and
inventor
indeed early and mid eighteen hundreds
and he developed a machine called the
analytical engine
prior to that he had developed
difference engine the different engines
able to form repetitive calculations
such as the creation of statistical
tables
in working for a purpose machine called
the analytical engine something he was
working on in ada lovelace was the first
person
really understand what he was trying to
do he had given us talk
it had been recorded in italian ada
lovelace took the notes from the
recording and translated them into
english and added her own notes which
come out to be three times as long as
the original work
and those contained
the algorithms and examples of computer
programming
there were considered the first computer
programs
it'll of lace was people only legitimate
child uh... lord byron things collect
and his wife to see a looming actually
married he had other children but they
were born out-of-wedlock
this marriage lasted less than a year
after it was born it his mother was very
concerned
that data would inherit
me insanity actually attributed to her
father
and so she had particular in mathematics
it appears in the census records of the
day visit site ancestry dot ceo dot u_k_
is the u_k_ version of ancestry dot com
in a lot of information is available
here you can get in a free account floor
fourteen days
by registering hearing you can look for
information about a variety of different
historical figures or people who might
be in your own family tree
and here
we can see that ada appears in birth
marriage and death index is in census
and various other kinds of documents
these are examples of
census records that are available for it
at my place
and as an example
she'd gotten eighteen fifty-two so this
is the last time that she appears in the
census record that we're gonna look
earlier in eighteen forty one
misses her census record and at this
point
she was already married to the url
lovelace
and had three children
at the ages of five
three years and six months
and
ancestry dot syr dot u_k_ provides
access to the original census records
that this was before and that was filled
out and mississippi
the early version this is the eighteen
forty one version of the census which
doesn't provide a lot of information
here's the url well free-spirited
account as a club grace
just listed as being twenty five years
all isn't a lot of other information
about them their is the fact that his
occupations listed as independent
teens independently wealthy
and here's
a transcription of the information
that's available at this time
there's quite a lot of it
speculation about ada lovelace and
parents what i consider to be very
entertaining webcomic about her
and describes how her mother
trained her in mathematics and then she
met trails cabbage
examined his demonstration machine
and began to fear as about
how this could could be used to perform
a variety of abstract calculations that
could be programmed it could be changed
on the fly
however
again aidid died at the age of thirty
six uterine cancer
and that's terrible
i can only imagine that she would have
had fantastic courier if she had lived
so i'd imagine
that i'm using a time machine i'm going
to take a surgeon or maybe some
technology that i get from the future
back in time
to eighteen fifty-two reason eighteen
fifty one
curator's cancer
sheep will go on to work with trust
average and he'll actually finish
machines that you started
and about the fans something wonderful
she probably will not however still be a
bit in the car has spent
this is where you go sleeping for most
of the time period which is a life of
her house down here in saint james
square
however this was her husband's house and
in eighteen forty four she ended up
meeting this man john kasich nissan
uh... andrew across who was a scientist
he introduced her to betting on horses
and before she died she ended up
confessing to her husband that she had
fair with this man
he was also merrick
and her husband actually laughter
before she died
so if she went to put she probably would
not still be living in sin james's
square
she'll probably be living somewhere else
