Summary
Healthcare uses statistics to describe and understand data. Students learn how to interpret descriptive statistics in a healthcare study.
Demographic variables
Demographic variables are measured at different levels. Students identify which variables were measured at the interval level. The number of hours worked per week and the length of labor are examples.
Describing length of labor
The length of labor is described using specific statistics. Students consider whether these statistics are appropriate. The mean and standard deviation are used to describe the length of labor.
Comparing experimental and control groups
The experimental and control groups are compared on various measures. Students assess whether the groups are similar or different. The type of feeding and marital status are compared between the groups.
Generalizing findings
Students consider whether the findings can be generalized to a broader population. The sample's composition is examined to determine if it is representative.
