MATH533: Applied Managerial StatisticsCourse project – part A A. Introduction A group of people visited a hospital looking to educate themselves and information on their diabetes. The sample is 40 individuals and the five variables are: 1. Hospital stay – number of days in hospital 2. Hospital satisfaction – level of satisfaction with hospital services during stay (very highly satisfied, highly satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, and very dissatisfied) 3. Diabetes Pretest – score on diabetes knowledge test (must score 95 or higher to leave) 4. Diabetes Posttest – score on diabetes knowledge test after receiving educational material created for this study 5. Glucose – blood glucose in mg/dL. B. 1st Individual Variable The hospital stay has a mean of 5.025 days. This means that the average stay of all the people was 5 days. The median is 5.5 days. The median is the middle value when data is in order of largest to smallest. The variance is 7.461. The variance measures how far a set of numbers are spread out. The standard deviation is 2.731. This is a measure of how close together the data is. C. 2nd Individual Variable The hospital satisfaction has no specific variable because it is not a number and therefore cannot be calculated by numbers. D. 3rd Individual Variable Diabetes Pretest • Mean – 50.25 • Median - 9 • Variance – 331.99 • Standard deviation – 18.22 E. 4th Individual Variable Diabetes Posttest • Mean – 52.92 • Median - 14 • Variance – 534.02 • Standard deviation – 23.11 F. 5th Individual Variable Glucose • Mean – 111.38 • Median - 53 • Variance – 1893.42 • Standard deviation – 43.51 G. 1st Paring of Variables What this shows is that that higher diabetes pretest the longer they stayed at the hospital. H. 2nd Paring of Variables What this shows is that that higher diabetes posttest the longer they stayed at the
