This lab aims to gather and analyze human population data using statistical methods to analyze data. The data used in this analysis was gathered from the Find a Grave website, which can be accessed at https://www.findagrave.com/. Calvary Allied Cemetery, commonly known as Calvary Cemetery, was used because it is one of the oldest and biggest in the country. It is worth noting that the cemetery used is located at 49-02 Laurel Hill Blvd. Woodside, Queens County, New York, 11377-7396 USA, and its ID is 64107 ( Calvary Cemetery In Woodside, New York Find A Grave Cemetery ). I did a virtual visit to the cemetery because I could not go to the cemetery in person. Data collected from the virtual visit comprised six entries: initials of the person buried in a plot, their gender, year of birth, year of death, and whether they died before or after 1920.
The data was saved into a Microsoft Excel worksheet for analysis to determine the mean lifespan of females and males before and after 1920. The data was sorted using the Before and After and Gender variables as references to group the analysis into four groups. It was then analyzed, and the results were summarized in Table 1. The results show that females have a longer lifespan than men both before and after 1920. The average lifespan is longer after 1920 than before 1920, as shown in Figure 1, a visual representation of the results. The differences in lifespan before and after 1920 are possibly due to improvements in healthcare and medicine. Males have a shorter deadline which is attributed to biological and social differences.

The only difficulty encountered while gathering the data was finding a cemetery that had accurate and reliable data. Some of the data on the virtual cemetery is incomplete thus less useful in analysis. The entries were limited to 500 pages which only covers surnames starting with A, B, and some of C. Calvary cemetery is one of the largest in the country and is located in the New York metropolitan area, which people from various backgrounds occupy. It is safe to assume the results are fairly representative of the state and the country to some extent.
