PHASE 1

3. Scenario of NCLEX Memorial Hospital where records of the
patients with infectious disease are studied in this paper, client
number, infection disease status and age of the patient are
recorded. Patients are faced with the same infectious disease.
The age of the patients is the vital issue which is considered in
statistical calculation. The data shows that there are 60 patients
who are faced with the same infectious disease according to
NCLEX Memorial Hospital, the age of the patients range from
35 years of age to 76 years of age.
All variables can be classified as quantitative variables. The
quantitative variable in the data set is the age patients.
Quantitative variable represent a measurable quantity because
they are numerical. For example, the age of the patients are
attained because it can be numbered. Therefore, age would be a
quantitative variable. The continuous variable is the number of
patients that range from 1 to 60; the number of the patient
would be an example of a continuous variable, since the patient
age could take on any value between 1 and 60. Infectious
disease variable represent a discrete variable, when a patient is
admitted he/she can be either infected or not infected.
The levels of measurements are the interval, nominal and the
ordinal level of measurement. In the interval level first
quantitative application of numbers happens. Observations are
classified into mutually exclusive and comprehensive categories
that have some clear relationship among them, and the
relationship between the categories is known and exact. Ordinal
level of measurement uses symbols to classify observations into
categories that are not only mutually exclusive and
comprehensive, (Christmann,2009). In addition, the categories
have some clear relationship among them. Nominal level
measurement also uses symbols to classify observations into
mutually exclusive so that observations does not fall into more
than one category and comprehensive categories so that
observations falls into some category.
Mean, median and mode are the measurement of center. The
importance is to find the average of everything: that is finding

4. the average age by giving the idea of what is most common in
the data. The most vital thing is calculating the middle of the
group observed. Examples of measures of variation are range,
variance, and standard deviation and the major uses are to
estimate the corresponding parameter.
Mean = 3709/60
=61.82 this means that when the sum of age is calculated,
is same as 60 lots of 61.82
Median
= (61+62)/ 2 =61.5
This shows the middle age of the patients infected with the
disease.
Mode
=69, this is the most appearing number which means
the infectious disease affect so many people at this age.
Midrange
= (76 + 35)/ 2
=55 this is the mean of the minimum and maximum of the
values.
The Range is the difference between the lowest and highest
values.
(76-35)=
Range= 55.5
Variance
=79.64
Standard deviation is the square root of standard deviation
=square root of variance 78.32
=8.924
Scheming data in a frequency distribution shows the general
shape of the distribution and gives a general sense of how the
numbers are clustered. Several statistics can be used to
represent the "center" of the distribution. These statistics are
commonly referred to as measures of central tendency, (Helsel,
1993). The range and standard deviation are all measures that
show the amount of variability within a dataset. The range is the
easiest measure of variability to calculate but can be confusing

5. if the dataset contains extreme values.

G310 Advanced Statistics and Analytics – Option 2
Introduction:
As a healthcare professional, you will work to improve and
maintain the health of individuals, families, and communities in
various settings. Basic statistical analysis can be used to gain
an understanding of current problems. Understanding the
current situation is the first step in discovering where an
opportunity for improvement exists. This course project will
assist you in applying basic statistical principles to a fictional
scenario in order to impact the health and wellbeing of the
clients being served.

6. This assignment will be completed in phases throughout the
quarter. As you gain additional knowledge through the didactic
portion of this course, you will be able to apply your new
knowledge to this project. You will receive formative feedback
from your instructor on each submission. The final project will
be due on week 10.
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 60 patients that have the infectious
disease with ages ranging from 35 years of age to 76 years of
age for NCLEX Memorial Hospital. Remember this assignment
will be completed over the duration of the course.
