5-3 Final Project Data Analysis Milestone Three: Process and Calculations

IHP 525 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric Overview: Your task is to help the organization answer the health question by critically analyzing the data. You will run descriptive statistics and a statistical test, create a graph, interpret the results, and present the results and recommendations to non-technical decision makers in the form of a data analysis. 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 descriptive statistics, statistical test you need to run and what graph you need to create. In Milestone Three, you will complete the Milestone Three Table document in which you propose the calculations and graph(s) 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 test will you need to run?

 If you are hypothesis testing, what are your null and alternative hypotheses?

 Is there a test that you want to use that you have not learned about yet? What is it? What is your plan for researching this test? Then explain why you chose these calculations to explore your health question. Specifically address this critical element:

I. Introduction A. Process: Propose how you will go about answering the health question you were asked to address based on the data set provided.

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: You will submit a table and 1–2 paragraphs in a single Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and using APA format for all citations. You may use the Milestone Three table document linked above as a template.
