[[INTRODUCTION]]

Lights, camera, education! In this paper, we embark on a whimsical yet enlightening journey to uncover the unforeseen link between the age of Academy Award Best Supporting Actor winners and the number of career/technical education teachers in secondary schools in Mississippi. It's a study that's sure to win the nod of approval from both seasoned educators and film enthusiasts alike – a rare feat indeed, much like an actor winning the coveted gold statuette for their supporting role and then scooping up teacher appreciation awards!

As we delve into this seemingly juxtaposed connection, one can't help but ponder: what could possibly tie the glitz and glamour of Hollywood with the nuts and bolts of vocational education in the Magnolia State? It's like finding the perfect recipe to combine star-studded red carpets with the humble homeroom – a fusion so unexpected that it leaves us speechless, yet simultaneously eager to offer a pithy, "Well, I'll be Oscar-so-impressed if this correlation holds up!"

Our valiant quest began with a spark of curiosity and a sprinkle of humor, much like a well-timed joke in an already engaging conversation. And like any good joke, our research is built on the foundation of meticulous analysis and statistical rigor, adding a touch of unexpected laughter to the otherwise solemn realms of academia and data analysis – because who says correlations can't be backed by a bit of movie magic and a dash of wit?

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In "The Hollywood Age Equation," Smith et al. investigate whether the age of Academy Award Best Supporting Actor winners holds any significance beyond its fleeting spotlight. The authors delve into the intricate web of Hollywood dynamics, uncovering the interplay between age and the acquisition of the cherished accolade. However, what they might have missed is the subtle but uproarious link this age factor shares with the workforce of Mississippi's secondary schools. It's almost as if when a Best Supporting Actor celebrates their win, a career/technical education teacher in Mississippi gets their wings – or perhaps a shiny trophy of their own. "Well, I'll be Oscar-so-impressed if this correlation holds up!"

Doe's "Silver Linings Playbook: The Art and Science of Best Supporting Actors" challenges conventional notions about the impact of an Oscar win on an actor's career trajectory. As we wade through Doe's comprehensive analysis, we can't help but muse about the potential impact of these wins on the vocation of educational instructors in Mississippi. The parallels are certainly puzzling, almost as perplexing as trying to decipher the best actor from those merely playing a part. It's a conundrum worthy of a standing ovation... or at least a few chuckles from the more academically inclined audience.

Jones et al., in their work "From Lights to Lessons: Unveiling the Unlikely Connection," inadvertently touch upon a nexus between the glitz and the grit, though their focus lies elsewhere. As they traverse through the tapestry of film and its socioeconomic implications, we snatch a glimpse of a peculiar correlation – one that beckons for further investigation with the promise of dad jokes aplenty. It's as if they left a breadcrumb trail of wit, leading us to a comical yet striking realization: the Oscar goes to... Mississippi's vocational education sphere!

Turning to the non-fiction domain, "Teaching from the Red Carpet: A Comprehensive Analysis" by Oscar W. Connoisseur provides insights into the potential synergy between the Oscars and academic pursuits. While the book primarily examines the influence of celebrity culture on education, the underlying thread of shaping vocational paths cannot be ignored. It's akin to finding the perfect match for a movie night – unexpected, yet surprisingly harmonious! Perhaps a sequel titled "Teaching With the Stars" is in order, featuring educators who steal the spotlight with their wisdom and charm.

In the realm of fiction, "The Silver Screen Chronicles of Mississippi's Educators" by Novel Author weaves a tale of intrigue, mingling the enchanting world of Hollywood with the tenacity and dedication of Mississippi’s vocational education instructors. While a work of fiction, the themes of unlikely connections and inspirational journeys resonate with the nuances uncovered in our peculiar, yet undeniably fascinating, research.

Social media posts such as "When Hollywood Meets the Heartland: A Tale of Tinseltown and Textbooks" by ExpertEducator123 and "Lights, Camera, Lesson Plan: Unearthing the Oscars-Education Link" by MovieManiac2020 add an unconventional, yet insightful, layer to the academia-meets-Oscars discourse. Their musings are a testament to the unyielding curiosity surrounding this unexpected correlation, drawing attention to the vibrant discussions sparked when scholarship is served with a side of star-studded trivia. It's almost as if the Oscar envelopes hold more than just winners; they harbor secrets waiting to be gleefully shared with educators everywhere. After all, who knew that the golden age of Hollywood could be so doused in silver screen education?

Employing correlation and regression analyses, we sought to unearth the hidden connections between the ages of Best Supporting Actor winners and the workforce composition of secondary education in Mississippi. Our statistical gymnastics were performed with a level of flourish befitting an Academy Award acceptance speech, yet grounded in the rigorous principles of scientific inquiry.

In a whimsical yet methodically sound approach, we simultaneously honored the spirit of academic inquiry and embraced the playful spirit of our unexpected research question.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "The Hollywood Age Equation," Smith et al. investigate whether the age of Academy Award Best Supporting Actor winners holds any significance beyond its fleeting spotlight. The authors delve into the intricate web of Hollywood dynamics, uncovering the interplay between age and the acquisition of the cherished accolade. However, what they might have missed is the subtle but uproarious link this age factor shares with the workforce of Mississippi's secondary schools. It's almost as if when a Best Supporting Actor celebrates their win, a career/technical education teacher in Mississippi gets their wings – or perhaps a shiny trophy of their own. "Well, I'll be Oscar-so-impressed if this correlation holds up!"
Doe's "Silver Linings Playbook: The Art and Science of Best Supporting Actors" challenges conventional notions about the impact of an Oscar win on an actor's career trajectory. As we wade through Doe's comprehensive analysis, we can't help but muse about the potential impact of these wins on the vocation of educational instructors in Mississippi. The parallels are certainly puzzling, almost as perplexing as trying to decipher the best actor from those merely playing a part. It's a conundrum worthy of a standing ovation... or at least a few chuckles from the more academically inclined audience.
Jones et al., in their work "From Lights to Lessons: Unveiling the Unlikely Connection," inadvertently touch upon a nexus between the glitz and the grit, though their focus lies elsewhere. As they traverse through the tapestry of film and its socioeconomic implications, we snatch a glimpse of a peculiar correlation – one that beckons for further investigation with the promise of dad jokes aplenty. It's as if they left a breadcrumb trail of wit, leading us to a comical yet striking realization: the Oscar goes to... Mississippi's vocational education sphere!
Turning to the non-fiction domain, "Teaching from the Red Carpet: A Comprehensive Analysis" by Oscar W. Connoisseur provides insights into the potential synergy between the Oscars and academic pursuits. While the book primarily examines the influence of celebrity culture on education, the underlying thread of shaping vocational paths cannot be ignored. It's akin to finding the perfect match for a movie night – unexpected, yet surprisingly harmonious! Perhaps a sequel titled "Teaching With the Stars" is in order, featuring educators who steal the spotlight with their wisdom and charm.
In the realm of fiction, "The Silver Screen Chronicles of Mississippi's Educators" by Novel Author weaves a tale of intrigue, mingling the enchanting world of Hollywood with the tenacity and dedication of Mississippi’s vocational education instructors. While a work of fiction, the themes of unlikely connections and inspirational journeys resonate with the nuances uncovered in our peculiar, yet undeniably fascinating, research.
Social media posts such as "When Hollywood Meets the Heartland: A Tale of Tinseltown and Textbooks" by ExpertEducator123 and "Lights, Camera, Lesson Plan: Unearthing the Oscars-Education Link" by MovieManiac2020 add an unconventional, yet insightful, layer to the academia-meets-Oscars discourse. Their musings are a testament to the unyielding curiosity surrounding this unexpected correlation, drawing attention to the vibrant discussions sparked when scholarship is served with a side of star-studded trivia. It's almost as if the Oscar envelopes hold more than just winners; they harbor secrets waiting to be gleefully shared with educators everywhere.

Correlation r = 0.7316876 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.5353667 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 53.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of career/technical education teachers, secondary school in Mississippi) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Academy Award Best Supporting Actor Winner's Age) over the 13 years from 2010 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.0045. 0.0044717687035294410000000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.73 in 0.45% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 224 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 12 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 12 because we have two variables measured over a period of 13 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.3, 0.91 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
