Final project. Details attached

According to the text, Statistics is the science of planning studies and experiments, obtaining data, and then organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions based on the data.  Write a paper at least 3 pages long detailing how specific concepts covered in this class fit into the definition and how they can apply to your area of study. (NURSING/HEALTHCARE)

The concepts that need to be covered are the five-number summary, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing.  For each concept be sure to explain the details of the concept and its importance, how it fits into the definition of statistics, and give a detailed example of how that concept can be used in your field of study.  You can, but don’t have to, research your field of study to find examples.  If you do, be sure to cite your sources.

Write the paper with a strong opening paragraph that makes the reader interested in reading the rest of the paper.  It should have a strong closing paragraph that ties the paper together.  In other words, don’t just answer questions, write a paper that informs and happens to cover the questions along the way.  If you use your text or other sources for information in your paper be sure to cite those sources and include a works cited page at the end.
