Script This is Steven Levy and this is Steven Levy Math. (Title Page) This video compares meat consumption and mortality in Japan and the USA. Japan and the United State have similar income levels. (Bar Graph). Page 9 in Livestock's Long Shadow 2006, shows per capita income in Japan and the USA as $27,000 and $36,000 per year respectively. These are figures for 2002. Yet meat consumption in the United States is almost three times that of Japan. (Bar Graph) 42 vs. 125 kg per year.

The main difference between populations and samples has to do with how observations are assigned to the data set. A population includes each element from the set of observations that can be made. A sample consists only of observations drawn from the population.
