statistical Analysis Report

Instructions

You are currently working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the Infectious Diseases Unit. Over the past few days, you have noticed an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. You believe that the ages of these patients play a critical role in the method used to treat the patients. You decide to speak to your manager, and together you work to use statistical analysis to look more closely at the ages of these patients.

You do some research and put together a spreadsheet of the data that contains the following information:

• Client number
• Infection disease status
• Age of the patient

You are to put together a report that you will submit to your manager. The report should contain all components of your findings. For review, the components of the report should include:

1. Brief overview of the scenario and variables in the data set
2. Discussion, calculation, and interpretation of the mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, and variance
3. Discussion, construction, and interpretation of the 95% confidence interval
4. Explanation of the full hypothesis test
5. Conclusion

The calculations should be performed in your spreadsheet that you will submit to your manager. You can find additional information on what to add to your spreadsheet and what to include the final report in this worksheet document.
