Examine the role of statistics in homeland security research using the Department of Homeland Security's website. Search for and identify a homeland security report that utilizes a frequency distribution to create a histogram. Explain what the report is and what the histogram represents. Annotate the variables that are being represented in the histogram and whether they are nominal, ordinal or interval/ratio variables. Provide a citation to the data report that you chose from the DHS website. Support your thoughts and ideas with appropriate resources. Respond to at least two of your classmates' postings.
Your initial post should be at least 250-300 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
