Step 1: Please watch the following Ted Talk that examines the cumulative statistical frequency of everyday occurrences: Transforming Statistics into Art.

Step 2: Identify an occurrence of your choosing. The occurrence you identify should be compelling to you. It can be one discussed in the Ted Talk, or you can select one of your own. Please avoid selecting an occurrence that is potentially offensive to others; instead, choose an occurrence that either concerns you or peaks your curiosity. Examples of occurrences may be the prevalence of marijuana use among high school students in the U.S., or the comparison of the prevalence of sleep deprivation among college students in Japan and the United States.

Step 3: Conduct web research to gather at least *two* credible sources that identify the statistics and impact on the community associated with the occurrence you selected. The statistics can report prevalence in a particular U.S. state, the U.S., or any other country or region. The impact of the occurrence should be relevant to the people and/or region you identified. Use APA style in-text citations in your post. At the end of your post, compose APA style citations for your sources.
