Description
Throughout this course, you have practiced various skills that will allow you to identify, procure, and manipulate biosurveillance and secondary data. As addressed in previous sections, public health information needs are constantly growing, and the statistical analysis of data is just one step in this process. Decisions based on this information would rely not only on the accuracy of your analysis but also on the organization of its presentation.
This week for your Scholar-Practitioner Project you will conduct descriptive and inferential analyses using your selected data set, your prepared database from Week 8, and SPSS.
To prepare:
Submit interpretation for your statistical analysis based on your selected data set, your prepared database, and SPSS. Mark sure to perform the following tasks for each of your research questions separately:
Provide interpretation for descriptive statistical analyses based on your SPSS output.
Summarize the numerical results with descriptive analysis tables or graphs, including your interpretation.
Provide interpretation of your inferential statistical analyses using SPSS outputs.
- Summarize the numerical results with inferential analysis tables or graphs, including your interpretation.

Result Interpretation
Results interpretation involves the process of describing the deriving the meaning of a
statistical finding in the process of answering the research questions. The process involves
addressing the hypothetical statement by either accepting or rejecting the null statement. Bell,
Bryman, and Harley (2018) noted that research work involves answering selected research
questions using statistical analysis of collected data through experiments or data gathered from a
selected population. The interpretation of results in this scholar-practitioner project will include
the descriptive and inferential analysis obtained from SPSS.
Research Questions
The research questions for the SPP are
i.
Is there a statistically significant difference between house heating fuel used and the
number of bedrooms in a house in Hawaii?
ii.
Is the unit in structure statistically associated with the land occupied by a house in
Hawaii?
iii.
Is there a statistically significant difference between the number of bedrooms and the size
of land a house occupies in Hawaii?
Null Hypotheses
i.
Ho: There is no statistically significant difference between house heating fuel and the
number of bedrooms.
ii.
Ho: The units in a structure are not statistically associated with the size of land occupied
by a house.
iii.
Ho: There is no statistically significant difference between the number of bedrooms and
the size of land a house occupies.
