Bio-milestone 5

In this course, you will use a robust, web-based statistical program called StatCrunch. For this non-graded activity, follow the Accessing StatCrunch instructions to ensure you can access this tool. Here is a great first video to help you learn how to use this tool: Getting Started With StatCrunch (7:57).

Once you have gained access, you will need to upload the provided Statistical Report Data Set. Refer to these instructions to learn how to upload a file to StatCrunch. Ask for help on the General Questions forum if you are having trouble.

Your task is to help the organization answer the health question by critically analyzing the data. You will run statistical tests, interpret the results, and present the results and recommendations to non-technical decision makers in the form of a statistical report. Keep in mind that it is your job to do this from a statistical standpoint. Be sure to justify your conclusions and recommendations with appropriate statistical support. Prompt: In order to successfully explore the health question, you need to plan what tests you need to run. In Milestone Three, you will create a table in which you propose the calculations and graphs you will need to perform to answer the health question you are investigating. In crafting your table, consider the following:  Watch Choosing a Statistical Test (12:31). 

What tests will you need to run?  If you are hypothesis testing, what are your null and alternative hypotheses?  Are there any tests that you want to use that you have not learned about yet? What are they? What is your plan for researching these tests? Then explain why you chose these calculations to explore your health question. Specifically address this critical element: ● Process: Propose how you will go about answering the health question you were asked to address based on the data set provided
