Summary and Descriptive Statistics

There 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:

1.Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode

Measures of central tendency are calculated.

2.Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).

Measures of central variation are calculated for variance and standard deviation. Range is identified.

3.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.

Analysis of the descriptive statistics for differences and health outcome recommendations between the groups is extremely thorough and accurate and includes substantial explanation and supporting details.

Hi. I have done numbers 1 and 2. It is an excel spreadsheet of different ethnicities who have lung cancer. I'm not sure how to upload the spreadsheet for you to see. However, suggestions on what I am supposed to write for the descriptive statistic portion?
