MATH 225N Week 5 Lab Assignment

Steps to Complete Week 5 Lab

Use the Weeks 3 and 5 spreadsheets to help you answer the questions below.

Step 1: Survey or measure 10 people to find their heights. Determine the mean and standard deviation for this group by using the Week 3 Excel spreadsheet. Post a screen shot of the portion of the spreadsheet that helped you determine these values. How does your height compare to the mean (average) height of the group that you surveyed? Is your height taller, shorter, or the same as the mean of your group?
https://lms.courselearn.net/lms/content/1560/56100/MATH 225/w5lab1.jpgData Example of 10 people with different heights

Step 2: Give some background information on the group of people you used in your study. You might consider using the following questions to guide your answer.

  • How did you choose the participants for your study (sampling method)?
    • What part of the country did your study take place in?
    • What are the age ranges of your participants?
    • How many of each gender did you have in your study?
    • What are other interesting factors about your group?

Step 3: Use the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet for the following.

  • (Use the Empirical Rule tab from the spreadsheet). Determine the 68%, 95%, and 99.7% values of the Empirical Rule in terms of the ten heights in your height study.
    • What do these values tell you?
    • Post a screen shot of your work from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet.
      https://lms.courselearn.net/lms/content/1560/56100/MATH 225/w5lab2.jpgWeek 5 Spreadsheet Example
    • (Use the normal probability tab from the spreadsheet). Based on your study results, what percent of the study participants are … shorter than you? What percent are taller than you?
    • Post a screen shot of your work from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet.

Step 4: Be sure your name is on the Word document, save it, and then submit it under “Assignments” and “Week 5: Lab”.

MATH 225N Week 6 Discussion, Confidence Interval

Confidence Intervals

In everyday terms, a confidence interval is the range of values around a sample statistic (such as mean or proportion) within which clinicians can expect to get the … same results if they repeat the study protocol or intervention, including measuring the same outcomes the same ways. As you ask yourself, “Will I get the same results if I use this research?”, you must address the precision of study findings, which is … by the Confidence Interval. If the CI around the sample statistic is narrow, you can … confident you will get close to the same results if you implement the same research in your practice.

MATH 225N Week 6 Discussion, Confidence Interval
MATH 225N Week 6 Discussion, Confidence Interval

Consider the following example. Suppose that you did a systematic review of studies on the effect of tai chi exercise on sleep quality, and you found that … tai chi affected sleep quality in older people. If, according to your study, you found the lower boundary of the CI to … .49, the study statistic to … 0.87, and the upper boundary to … 1.25, this would mean that each end limit is 0.38 from the sample statistic, which is a relatively narrow CI.

(UB + LB)/2 = Statistic [(1.25 + .49)/2 = .87]

Keep in mind that a mean difference of 0 indicates there is no difference; this CI does not contain 0. Therefore, the sample statistic is statistically significant and unlikely to occur by chance.

Because this was a systematic review, and tai chi exercise has been established from the studies you assessed as helping people sleep, based on the sample statistics and the CI, clinicians could now use your study and confidently include tai chi exercises … among possible recommendations for patients who have difficulty sleeping.

Now you can apply your knowledge of CIs to create your own studies and make wise decisions about whether to base your patient care on a particular research finding.

Initial Post Instructions

Thinking of the many variables tracked by hospitals and doctors’ offices, confidence intervals could … created for population parameters (such as means or proportions) that were … calculated from many of them.

Choose a topic of study that is tracked (or you would like to see tracked) from your place of work. Discuss the variable and … parameter (mean or proportion) you chose, and explain why you would these to create an interval that captures the true value of the parameter of patients with 95% confidence.

Consider the following:

How would changing the confidence interval to 90% or 99% affect the study? Which of these values (90%, 95%, or 99%) would best suit … confidence level according to type of study chosen? How might the study findings … presented to those in charge in an attempt to affect change at the workplace?
