National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data Discussion
There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics
for data within the organization or for health care information.
Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes
data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences
between the groups based upon the collected data often informs
health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or
patient education.
Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel
spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below
for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and
the Topic Materials, as needed, for Helpance in with creating
Excel formulas.
Provide the following descriptive statistics:
Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a
formula is not needed for Range).
Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of
the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include
differences and health outcomes between groups.
APA style is not required, but solid academic writingis expected.
