In order to successfully explore the health question, you need to plan what tests you need to run. In Milestone Three, you will create a table in which you propose the calculations and graphs you will need to perform to answer the health question you are investigating. Then explain why you chose these calculations to explore your health question.
Refer to the Milestone Three Table Word Document for this assignment. Submit your assignment here. Make sure you’ve included all the required elements by reviewing the guidelines and rubric.
IHP 525 Milestone Three Guidelines and RubricOverview
Your task is to help the organization answer the health question by critically analyzing the data. You will run descriptive statistics and a statistical test, create a graph, interpret the results, and present the results and recommendations to nontechnical decision makers in the form of a data analysis. Keep in mind that it is your job to do this from a statistical standpoint. Be certain to justify your conclusions and recommendations with appropriate statistical support.
Prompt
To successfully explore the health question, you must plan the descriptive statistics you will use, the statistical test you will run, and the graph you will create. For this milestone, you will complete the table in the Milestone Three Steps document in the Supporting Materials section. Use the table to propose the calculations and graphs you will perform to answer the health question you are investigating. Review this module’s resources about choosing the right statistical test.
- What test will you need to run?
- If you are hypothesis testing, what are your null and alternative hypotheses?
- Is there a test you want to use that you have not learned about yet? What is it? What is your plan for researching this test?
Then, explain why you chose these calculations to explore your health question.
Specifically, address this critical element:
- Introduction
- Process: Use a statistical lens to propose your approach to answering your health question based on the provided data set.
What to Submit
You will submit a table and 1–2 paragraphs in a single Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA format. You may use the Milestone Three Steps document linked below as a template.
