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.
Requirements:
1) Answer the questions below in a PowerPoint presentation.
2) Include only the summary calculations in your slides (not formulas).
3) Show calculations in your Excel spreadsheet (include formulas and do not round the numbers).
● Slide 1: Title
● Introduce your scenario and data set.
○ Slide 2: Provide a brief overview of the scenario you are given above and the data set that you will be analyzing.
o Slide 3: Classify the variables in your data set.
▪ Which variables are quantitative/qualitative?
▪ Which variables are discrete/continuous?
▪ Describe the level of measurement for each variable included in the data set (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio)
● Discuss the importance of the Measures of Center and the Measures of Variation.
o Slide 4: What are the measures of center and why are they important?
o Slide 5: What are the measures of variation and why are they important?
● Slide 6: Calculate the measures of center and measures of variation. Interpret your results in context of the scenario.
o Mean
o Median
o Mode
o Midrange
o Range
o Variance
o Standard deviation
4. Slide 7: Discuss the importance of constructing confidence intervals for the population mean by answering these questions:
o What are confidence intervals?
o What is a point estimate?

5. Slide 8: Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown. Include a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval in context of the scenario.
6. Perform the following hypothesis test:
o Original Claim: The average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 65 years of age.
