AI explanation

As the number of students studying foreign languages and linguistics dwindled, there was a corresponding decline in the production of language-related puns and wordplay. This led to a shortage of lighthearted jokes and linguistic humor in Wyoming, which ultimately made the work environment in chemical plants seem more monotonous and less enjoyable. Without multilingual wit to lighten the mood, the chemical plant and system operators in Wyoming found themselves facing a humor deficit, leading many to seek more engaging and linguistically stimulating job opportunities elsewhere. Remember, a little chemistry between language and laughter can catalyze a more vibrant workplace!

[[INTRODUCTION]]

The world of academia is often a place where seemingly unrelated disciplines collide, much like two atoms in a chemical reaction - sometimes producing unexpected outcomes. Our study delves into one such collision between the fields of foreign language education and the chemical industry, aiming to unravel the mysterious correlation between the number of Bachelor's degrees awarded in foreign languages, literatures, and linguistics and the employment figures of chemical plant and system operators in the picturesque state of Wyoming.

At first glance, it may seem as improbable as a beaker spontaneously combusting, yet our exploration has revealed a compelling relationship between linguistic studies and chemical plant operations. The whimsical nature of statistical correlations has led us to uncover a rather surprising confluence of variables, where the nuances of grammar and syntax intersect with the precision of chemical processes. Just as molecules form intricate bonds, so too have our findings formed an unexpected connection between these two distinct realms.

Our journey into this uncharted territory of interdisciplinary research has been akin to venturing into unexplored terrain - much like a cowboy traversing the rugged landscapes of Wyoming, albeit armed not with a lasso, but with a calculator and an abundance of statistical data. It is in the spirit of scientific adventure that we present our findings, in the hope that they not only contribute to the academic discourse but also inject a dash of levity and curiosity into the often solemn contours of scholarly pursuits.

As we embark on this scholarly escapade, we invite the reader to join us in uncovering the surprising correlations that lurk beneath the surface of seemingly disparate academic domains - for, as our jesting chemist friend would opine, sometimes the most unexpected connections are the ones that yield the most delightful reactions.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In examining the intersection between foreign language education and the chemical industry, we must first acknowledge the scarcity of prior research on this captivating confluence of disciplines. Despite this, our exploration was guided by the few pertinent studies that shed some light on the matter.

Smith (2015) delved into the cultural implications of language proficiency, offering insights into the potential socio-economic impact of foreign language education. Meanwhile, Doe (2017) conducted a comprehensive analysis of employment trends in the chemical industry, highlighting the essential role of skilled operators in chemical plant management. However, neither study ventured into the intriguing correlation we have uncovered.

Turning to the world of non-fiction literature, Jessop's "The Linguistic Chemistry of Culture" and Patel's "Chemical Translations: A Cross-Disciplinary Study" provided thought-provoking perspectives, though not directly focusing on the correlation at hand. In the realm of fiction, the enthralling intrigue of chemical processes was depicted in Newton's "The Mysterious Alchemy of Language" and Dickinson's "Linguistic Elements: A Chemical Equation of Words," hinting at the underlying themes that our research seeks to unravel.

The unexpected parallels between foreign language education and chemical plant operations also brought to mind the strategic maneuvering in the game "Chemistry Conundrum," where players tactically navigate through chemical compounds, akin to the carefully structured syntax of a foreign language. Such playful associations further underscore the enigmatic bond between these seemingly disparate realms.

As we immerse ourselves in this unorthodox expedition, we invite the reader to don their metaphorical lab coats and embark with us on this journey of whimsical discovery, where linguistic prowess and chemical acumen intersect in a dance of scholarly exploration, akin to a grand ball in the hallowed halls of academia. Indeed, the results of our investigation promise not only to contribute to the scientific literature but also to inject a generous dose of amusement and curiosity into the oft-stoic milieu of academic inquiry.

[[METHODOLOGY]]

As we began our quest to uncover the mysterious connection between the study of foreign languages and the world of chemical plant operations, we concocted a rather unconventional methodology to scrutinize this enigmatic relationship. Our approach was as unconventional as a chemist performing an experiment with a recipe from a cookbook – an odd combination that led to some unexpectedly fruitful results.

To begin our investigation, we scoured the depths of the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, casting our nets far and wide for data pertaining to the number of Bachelor's degrees conferred in foreign languages, literatures, and linguistics, and the employment figures of chemical plant and system operators in the state of Wyoming. Much like skilled alchemists, diligently examining arcane manuscripts for hidden truths, we scrutinized the data spanning the years from 2012 to 2020.

Our chosen statistical instruments resembled a peculiar assortment of laboratory glassware – we employed the renowned Pearson correlation coefficient to gauge the strength and direction of the relationship between the number of foreign language degrees awarded and the quantity of chemical plant operators employed. Then, just like a cautious scientist adding precise amounts of reagents to a reaction vessel, we conducted a series of t-tests to determine the statistical significance of our findings, ensuring that our conclusions were as robust as a steel containment vessel.

Despite the unconventional nature of our methods, our rigorous concoction of data analysis and statistical measures yielded unexpected and resounding results, much like a chemical reaction proceeding with an unforeseen vigor. Our approach, though unorthodox, has enabled us to unravel a correlation coefficient of 0.9194672, with a statistical significance of p < 0.01, leading us to confidently affirm the existence of a compelling link between these seemingly divergent domains.

In the spirit of scholarly transparency, we acknowledge the limitations of our methodology, akin to an experimentalist acknowledging the constraints of their laboratory equipment. While we have unearthed a striking correlation, our methodology, much like a lively chemical reaction, is not without its limitations. Nevertheless, our adventurous journey into this peculiar terrain of study has paved the way for future researchers to delve deeper into the fascinating confluence of language and chemistry, igniting a spark of curiosity and humor amidst the typically solemn world of scholarly inquiry.

Our results align with previous speculations made by Jessop and Patel in their respective works, indicating that the linguistic nuance of foreign language study might indeed be analogous to the precise balance of chemical elements in a reaction. The notion that language fluency and efficient chemical operations correlate so strongly may have originally seemed as improbable as a scientist finding humor in statistical data - a rare molecule, you might say.

Our study further supports the previously observed socio-economic impact of linguistic education, as indicated by Smith, albeit in a delightfully unexpected context. One cannot help but admire the synergy between the two seemingly disparate fields, much like the enthralling maneuvering in the game "Chemistry Conundrum" that we playfully referenced in our literature review.

As we dive into this uncharted territory, where language and chemical processes mingle in a dance of scientific inquiry, a new avenue of interdisciplinary research unfolds like the petals of a blooming flower. Our findings not only challenge the bounds of conventional wisdom but also lend a touch of pizzazz to the often sobered research landscape. The enigmatic link between linguistic prowess and chemical acumen prompts the imagination to wonder: could a linguistic conundrum be untangled with the precision of a chemical equation?

In essence, our investigation has flexed the creative muscles of academia, illuminating the unforeseen harmony between otherwise distinct domains and producing an astonishing conversation piece at scholarly soirées. The dynamic interplay between linguistic studies and the chemical industry exemplifies the delightful unpredictability of scientific inquiry – much like a reaction that defies convention to unveil a marvelous new compound. Indeed, it seems that the chemistry of words and the language of chemical processes can, in some inexplicable manner, dance to the same tune.

Lingua-Lab Correlations: A Chemical Case Study of Foreign Language Degrees and Wyoming's Plant Operators

[[ABSTRACT]]
This paper investigates the seemingly unrelated worlds of language and chemistry to explore the peculiar relationship between the number of Bachelor's degrees awarded in foreign languages, literatures, and linguistics and the employment statistics of chemical plant and system operators in the state of Wyoming. By utilizing data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, our research team conducted a comprehensive analysis spanning the years 2012 to 2020. Remarkably, the findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.9194672, with a statistical significance of p < 0.01, thereby unravelling a surprising connection between these divergent disciplines. In light of these unexpected results, this study sheds light on the unexplored interplay between linguistic proficiency and the management of chemical processes, offering new avenues for interdisciplinary research and some rather curious puns to liven up the typically serious discourse in academia.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The world of academia is often a place where seemingly unrelated disciplines collide, much like two atoms in a chemical reaction - sometimes producing unexpected outcomes. Our study delves into one such collision between the fields of foreign language education and the chemical industry, aiming to unravel the mysterious correlation between the number of Bachelor's degrees awarded in foreign languages, literatures, and linguistics and the employment figures of chemical plant and system operators in the picturesque state of Wyoming.
At first glance, it may seem as improbable as a beaker spontaneously combusting, yet our exploration has revealed a compelling relationship between linguistic studies and chemical plant operations. The whimsical nature of statistical correlations has led us to uncover a rather surprising confluence of variables, where the nuances of grammar and syntax intersect with the precision of chemical processes. Just as molecules form intricate bonds, so too have our findings formed an unexpected connection between these two distinct realms.
Our journey into this uncharted territory of interdisciplinary research has been akin to venturing into unexplored terrain - much like a cowboy traversing the rugged landscapes of Wyoming, albeit armed not with a lasso, but with a calculator and an abundance of statistical data. It is in the spirit of scientific adventure that we present our findings, in the hope that they not only contribute to the academic discourse but also inject a dash of levity and curiosity into the often solemn contours of scholarly pursuits.

Correlation r = 0.9194672 (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 = 0.8454200 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 84.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of chemical plant and system operators in Wyoming) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Bachelor's degrees awarded in linguistics) over the 9 years from 2012 through 2020.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.000451. 0.0004507529843507884000000000
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 0.92 in 0.0451% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 2,219 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 8 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 8 because we have two variables measured over a period of 9 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.

[ 0.66, 0.98 ] 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.
  4. Very low n: There are not many data points included in this analysis. Even if the p-value is high, we should be suspicious of using so few datapoints in a correlation.
  5. Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
    Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
