Our investigation today aimed to identify any possible differences in the number of police shootings involving Black and White people. First, we extracted the most important statistical parameters for both datasets: minimum, maximum, mean, median, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis. These measurements gave us the fundamental knowledge that served as the basis for our later histogram-based graphics. Notably, we found that the age profiles of both Black and White victims of police shootings deviated from the normal distribution when age was taken into account. The non-normality of the data raised doubts about the appropriateness of using the t-test to determine the p-value; aware of this constraint, we chose to estimate the p-value using the Monte Carlo approach. We used Cohen’s d method to calculate the magnitude of this difference, and the result was a value of 0.577, which indicates a medium effect size and highlights a notable and substantial difference between these two demographic groups.
