DNP- LEADERSHIP FOR ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE

DNP-830-0502: Data Analysis

Working with Descriptive Statistics

The descriptive test to be done in this assignment will be based on the statistics gender to give the frequency account, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum. In addition to this, the bar graph containing the gender and the sugar axis will be created.

The data to be used for the assignment is that of the group of patients that were diagnosed with diabetes. During the diagnosis, the blood sugar of each individual was recorded as shown below.

Frequency Count is the measure of the number of times that the event occurs (Narkhede, 2018). From the data provided, the frequency count is 8 for both males and females.

Mean is referred to as the average of the data provided. It is used to derive the central tendency. The mean of our data is 182.50 for males and 118.50 for females.

Standard deviation is the measure of how the data spread. Its major use is the comparison of the data which is characterized by the same mean but the different range (Donges 2018). The standard deviation of our data is 184.438 for males and 113.339 for females.

The minimum is the greatest element of the sample. Our minimum is 21 in men and 61 in the female.

Maximum is the largest element of the sample. The maximum is 505 in men and 390 in the female.

From table 2, the frequency distribution of the male variable is 1. This shows that each value of the variable only appeared once.

Unlike table 1, table 3 which has the frequency of the female blood sugar has a frequency of 1 in all the values except 68 which has the frequency of 2.
