  2. Calculate expected values to evaluate multiple outcomes of a decision.
  3. Construct and interpret confidence intervals for means and proportions.
  1. Formulate, perform, and interpret hypotheses tests (one and two population parameters).
  1. Use statistical software to graph, compute, and analyze statistical data

Step by Step Instructions:

  1. Make sure, you do have a data access from the chosen company in the above industry for two different time periods or two different locations in the same time period.
  2. Suppose you work on quality control in that company. Your job is to do monthly checks on the quality of service by collecting data on key areas. Your company is watching sales by collecting data on location, and three variables.
  3. Select the three variables of your choice (based on data availability).

  7. Compare your summary results. Discuss any specific statistical results in visuals that would help the reader to understand your point. (Covered in Chapter-2)

 
 

Example

Make sure, you do have a data access from that company. Suppose you work on quality control in that company. Your job is to do monthly checks on the quality of service by collecting data on key areas.  Your company is watching sales by collecting data on location, and three variables – list price, sale price, and number of days it takes to sell each residential single-family housing unit. Each single-family housing unit is classified as “Collin” if it is located within Collin county or “Non-Collin” if it is located near (within 50 miles), but not in Collin county.
Part-A:
You are to prepare a Managerial Report answering the following (show the work for each of the following at the end of managerial report)

  1. Use appropriate descriptive statistics to summarize each of the three variables for the Collin housing units. (Covered in Chapter-2)
  2. Use appropriate descriptive statistics to summarize each of the three variables for the Non-Collin housing units. (Covered in Chapter-2)
  3. Compare your summary results. Discuss any specific statistical results that would help a real estate agent understand the DFW housing market. (Covered in Chapter-2)

Part-B :

  1. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Collin housing units. Interpret your results.
  2. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Non-Collin housing units. Interpret your results.

Assume the branch manager requested estimates of the mean selling price of Collin housing units with a margin of error of $40,000 and the mean selling price of Non-Collin housing units with a margin of error of $15,000. Using 95% confidence, how large should the sample sizes be?

  1. Your company just signed contracts for two new listings: a Collin housing unit with a list price of $589,000 and a Non-Collin housing unit with a list price of $285,000. What is your estimate of the final selling price and number of days required to sell each of these units?

 
Part-B
Excel Exercise

  1. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Collin housing units using excel. Attach the excel file to your report. Also enlist the steps explaining how you used excel.
  2. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean sales price and population mean number of days to sell for Non-Collin housing units using excel. Attach the excel file to your report. Also enlist the steps explaining how you used excel.

(Hint: Review the guidelines for Interval Estimation Using Excel)

Review and reflect on your colleagues’ replies to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues. (No posting is required for this reflection.)

week 1 discussion In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Louise Fitzpatrick shared how health and disease are global issues. She pointed out that with the mobility of today’s population, those health issues experienced in one area of the world are easily brought to other areas of the world. Consider the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, avian flu, H1N1, or SARS. These diseases have quickly crossed oceans and spread to a variety of countries. They are a public health concern in the U.S. as well as other countries. To prepare for this Discussion, reflect on the readings and on Dr. Mancuso’s comments in this week’s media presentation; specifically on the role of the BSN nurse in public and global health. With these thoughts in mind, respond to the following:   Why should BSN nurses be concerned with global health issues?   How do global health issues influence nursing practice at your local level or in your work setting? Include specific examples. Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Post your response by Day 3 of this week. Respond by Day 7 to at least two of your colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways: • Ask a probing question. • Expand on the colleague’s posting. • Offer polite disagreement or critique, supported with evidence. In addition to, but not in place of, the above you may: • Offer and support an opinion. • Validate an idea with your own experience. • Make a suggestion or comment which guides or facilitates the Discussion. Review and reflect on your colleagues’ replies to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues.

L.N. is 5’4″ and has always been on the large side, with her weight fluctuating between 165 and 185 lb. Initial treatment for her diabetes consisted of an oral sulfonylurea with the rapid addition of metformin. Her diabetes has been under fair control with a most recent hemoglobin A1c of 7.4%.Hypertension was diagnosed 5 years ago when blood pressure (BP) measured in the office was noted to be consistently elevated in the range of 160/90 mmHg on three occasions. L.N. was initially treated with Lisinopril, starting at 10 mg daily and increasing to 20 mg daily, yet her BP control has fluctuated. One year ago, microalbuminuria was detected on an annual urine screen, with 1,943 mg/dl of micro-albumin identified on a spot urine sample. L.N. comes into the office today for her usual follow-up visit for diabetes and HTN.Subjective data reveals that she is experiencing increased exertional SOB. She expresses concern because when this happens it takes her awhile to get her breath back to normal. Denies any pain or dizziness with these episodes.Physical examination reveals an obese woman with a BP of 154/86 mmHg and a pulse of 78 bpm. Otherwise exam is unremarkable.CC: “I am more short of breath when walking up stairs than I used to be”.

Questions NEED TO BE ABOUT 3-4 SENTENCES BUT THOROUGH ANSWERS

1. What are the effects of controlling BP in people with diabetes?

2. What is the target BP for patients with diabetes and hypertension?

3. Which antihypertensive agents are recommended for patients with diabetes?

4 What testing does this woman need ordered due to her change in status both SHORTNESS OF BREATH and BLOOD PRESSURE? (USE CASE STUDY ABOVE FOR THIS QUESTION)

5. What is the significance of microalbuminuria in this woman? How does this affect her cardiovascular risk?

Write this case study up as a clinical note including all elements of plan of care regarding issues presented in the case.
