There is often a requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within an organization or for health care information. The National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics every year. Understanding differences between the groups based on the collected data often informs healthcare professionals about 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 Resources, as needed, for assistance with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

1. Measures of central tendency: mean, median, and mode.
2. Measures of variation: variance, standard deviation, and range (a formula is not needed for range).
3. Once the data are calculated, provide an analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.
