helpnoplagiarismThere is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data
within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer
Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding
differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care
professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.Using the data on
the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics
indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic
Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.Provide the following
descriptive statistics:Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and ModeMeasures of
Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for
Range).Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive
statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between
groups.APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.This assignment
uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar
with the expectations for successful completion.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED,
PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your
computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on
your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
2. paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
