HLT-362V: Summary and Descriptive Statistics Analysis

This assignment presents a comprehensive analysis of descriptive statistics derived from National Cancer Institute data, focusing on different race/ethnicity groups. The student calculates and summarizes key statistical measures including mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, and range for each group. The analysis reveals central tendencies and variations within the datasets, highlighting differences between groups. The student provides a detailed overview of the calculated descriptive statistics for each race/ethnicity group, including American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White. The analysis includes insights into potential health outcomes based on the descriptive statistics. The assignment demonstrates the application of descriptive statistics in healthcare data analysis and provides a clear understanding of the statistical differences between the groups, offering valuable insights for healthcare professionals.

Table 5 Summary for White
Table 1 shows the summary statistics for American Indian. From the table 1it has
been seen that the measure of central tendency that the mean and median is 43.275 and 43.85.
The mode for American Indian does not exist, because there is no repetition of the data set.
Similarly the measure of variance that is the variance, standard deviation and range is
27.72, 5.26 and 19.7.
Table 2 shows the summary statistics for Asian. From the table 2 it has been seen that
the measure of central tendency that the mean, median and mode is 38.51, 38.9 and 36.6.
Similarly the measure of variance that is the variance, standard deviation and range is 5.67,
2.38 and 7.8.
Table 3 shows the summary statistics for Black includes Hispanic. From the table 3 it
has been seen that the measure of central tendency that the mean and median is 70.06 and

71.4. The mode for American Indian does not exist, because there is no repetition of the data
set.
Similarly the measure of variance that is the variance, standard deviation and range is
45.23, 6.74 and 21.6.
Table 4 shows the summary statistics for Hispanic any race. From the table 4 it has
been seen that the measure of central tendency that the mean, median and mode is 31.49, 32.1
and 34.1. Similarly the measure of variance that is the variance, standard deviation and range
is 8.40, 2.89 and 9.
Table 5 shows the summary statistics for white includes Hispanic. From the table 5 it
has been seen that the measure of central tendency that the mean, median and mode is 62.72,
64.55 and 65.8. Similarly the measure of variance that is the variance, standard deviation and
range is 26.16, 5.11 and 15.6.
