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 PowerPoint presentation that explains the analysis of your findings which you will submit to your manager. The presentation should contain all components of your findings. For review, the components of the report should include:
- Brief overview of the scenario and variables in the data set
- Discussion, calculation, and interpretation of the mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, and variance
- Discussion, construction, and interpretation of the 95% confidence interval
- Explanation of the full hypothesis test
- Conclusion
The calculations should be performed in your spreadsheet that you will also submit to your manager. You can find additional information on what to add to your PowerPoint presentation in this
Word document
. Use the questions in the worksheet as your guide for the contents of your presentation.
For your final deliverable, submit your PowerPoint presentation and the Excel workbook showing your work. Do not submit your Word document.

Scenario 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 need the preliminary findings immediately so that you can start treating these patients. So, let’s get to work!
Background information on the Data:
The data set consists of 65 patients that have the infectious disease with ages ranging from 41 years of age to 84 years of age for NCLEX Memorial Hospital.
Requirements:
1) Answer the questions below in a PowerPoint presentation.
2) Include the summary calculations and the formulas in your slides either symbolically or from Excel. Do not round your results.
3) Show calculations in your Excel spreadsheet.
Submit both the PowerPoint and Excel files.
PowerPoint Presentation Requirements
Slide 1 Title Title Slide Slide 2 Overview Provide a brief overview of the scenario you are given above and the data set that you will be analyzing. Slide 3 Classification Classify the variables in your data set. Slide 4 Measures of Center What are the measures of center and why are they important? Describe each individually and list any advantages or disadvantages that each may have. Slide 5 Measures of Variation What are the measures of variation and why are they important? Describe each individually and list any advantages or disadvantages that each may have. Slide 6 Calculations Show your results for the following calculations. Include formulas used in Excel. Interpret your results in the context of the scenario and include units of measurement for each. Slide 7 Confidence Intervals Show your responses for the follow questions: Slide 8 Confidence Intervals Construct a Slide 9 Hypothesis Testing Perform the following hypothesis test based on the claim that the average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 64 years of age. Slide 10 Hypothesis Testing Continue the hypothesis test based on the claim that the average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 64 years of age. Slide 11 Hypothesis Testing Complete the hypothesis test by explaining the following: Slide 12 Conclusion Conclude by recapping your ideas by summarizing the information presented in context of the scenario.
