provide an answer: After completely defining your project's scope, defend the appropriateness of this scope for your project and why it is neither too broad nor too narrow. The goal of this project is to be informative so that individuals may come to their own conclusions regarding statistics within healthcare and medical research. Within this, I will explain how statistics can reduce healthcare disparities by discovering inequalities in access, treatment, and outcomes across demographic groups. In addition, an understanding of statistics demonstrates tools for cost-effective healthcare planning. An example of this is the use of statistical data to evaluate and improve insurance risk modeling and policy making, evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treatments, or optimize staffing and resource allocation. The overall theme of this project will define how the development of evidence-based medicine relies highly on statistics, leading to standardized care, improved treatment guidelines, and better patient outcomes. In order to paint this picture, I will provide a brief history of statistics in public healthcare, review clinical trials that benefit from evidence based-medicine, define biostatistics, and provide descriptions of multiple statistical methods, along with strong suits associated with each
