Executive summary Brad Rodrigues Capella University Math2001 Professor Halverson December 2023

Task and purpose. The purpose of this survey was to help identify causes for the participation in the jail diversion program here in Howard County Texas. The survey was conducted by utilizing random sampling and focused on Howard County residents between the ages of 18 and 65 due to the nature of the program we did not see any bias in regard to race or gender in this program or throughout the survey findings. The total number of those surveyed was eighty-two. This summary will help to shed light on the biggest contributing factors and our area of operations. It is also important to note that this program is run by the local mental health authority for this region. Binary data The first of six questions asked participants to indicate whether they were male or female. It was initially believed that there may have been a slight favoring of males on this question however the data indicated that respondents identified as male and female that just about a 50/50 split. The second question asked on the survey was do you currently have a diagnosed mental health disorder, this again was initially believed to be leaning more towards yes however, the survey data proved that this was again an equally split question with yes being just over the 50% threshold. The third question of the survey asked if the individual respondent was experiencing homelessness. This information was not previously known to the organization however through the efforts of this survey we learned that of the participants homelessness was a factor in approximately forty-nine percent of the cases. The final binary question asked on this survey was whether or not the individual respondent was currently employed. This was initially assumed to be a relatively low value however, the results of this survey showed that approximately forty- seven percent of the respondents indicated that they indeed were employed.

throughout this semester I can honestly say that I learned a lot of things. This was the first mathematics class I had taken in years, to the extent that I had to relearn that average in mean are basically the exact same thing. In my private life I'm a huge statistic nerds especially when it comes to sports however when you're looking at stats from sports normally you the individual consumer of the entertainment are not doing the math behind this and two even if you are crunching the numbers it's not viewed as a task or a chore because it's something that you enjoy doing. I know that might sound negative however, I have to be absolutely honest here even though initially going through and hand jamming the formulas once you got the hang of it and then even more so once you started using excel that same excitement came back. Learning how to use excel was probably one of the biggest highlights for me in this class I was able to take the information I learned throughout the semester and immediately apply it to my own personal life in areas such as my personal finances. Professionally I'm a program manager, I run my company's veterans division and I was able to use a lot of the things that I just learned in this class to help set goals for this fiscal quarter.
