Abstract:
The research paper on the survival of passengers on the Titanic employs statistical techniques to investigate the factors that played a role in their survival. The study reveals that gender, age, and social class significantly impacted the likelihood of survival. The paper also acknowledges the limitations in the data and potential biases. The findings underscore the significance of access to lifeboats and the actions of crew members during emergencies and can potentially inform future disaster preparedness strategies. This study contributes valuable insights into the socio-economic factors that shaped the disaster and establishes the significance of thorough analysis and interpretation of historical data.
