MAT 243 SNHU Python Scripts for the Module Six And Python Script Discussion
DISCUSSION 1: In this discussion you will be interpreting output from your Python Scripts for the Module Six Discussion. If you did not complete the Module Six discussion, please complete that before working on this assignment.Last week’s discussion involved development of a multiple regression model that used miles per gallon as a response variable. Weight and horsepower were predictor variables. You performed an overall F-test to evaluate the significance of your model. This week, you will evaluate the significance of individual predictors. You will use output of Python script from Module Six to perform individual t-tests for each predictor variable. Specifically, you will look at Step 5 of the Python script to answer all questions in the discussion this week.In your initial post, address the following items:Is at least one of the two variables (weight and horsepower) significant in the model? Run the overall F-test and provide your interpretation at 5% level of significance. See Step 5 in the Python script. Include the following in your analysis:Define the null and alternative hypothesis in mathematical terms and in words.Report the level of significance.Include the test statistic and the P-value. (Hint: F-Statistic and Prob (F-Statistic) in the output).Provide your conclusion and interpretation of the test. Should the null hypothesis be rejected? Why or why not?What is the slope coefficient for the weight variable? Is this coefficient significant at 5% level of significance (alpha=0.05)? (Hint: Check the P-value, , for weight in Python output. Recall that this is the individual t-test for the beta parameter.) See Step 5 in the Python script.What is the slope coefficient for the horsepower variable? Is this coefficient significant at 5% level of significance (alpha=0.05)? (Hint: Check the P-value, , for horsepower in Python output. Recall that this is the individual t-test for the beta parameter.) See Step 5 in the Python script.What is the purpose of performing individual t-tests after carrying out the overall F-test? What are the differences in the interpretation of the two tests?What is the coefficient of determination of your multiple regression model from Module Six? Provide appropriate interpretation of this statistic. Be sure to clearly communicate your ideas using appropriate terminology. DISCUSSION 2Use the link in the Jupyter Notebook activity to access your MODULE 8 DISCUSSION Python script. In this discussion, you will apply the statistical concepts and techniques covered in this week's reading about one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). An investment analyst is evaluating the 10-year mean return on investment for industry-specific exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for three sectors: financial, energy, and technology. The analyst obtains a random sample of 30 ETFs for each sector and calculates the 10-year return of each ETF. The analyst has provided you with this data set. Run Step 1 in the Python script to upload the data file.Using the sample data, perform one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Evaluate whether the average return of at least one of the industry-specific ETFs is significantly different. Use a 5% level of significance.In your initial post, address the following items:Define the null and alternative hypothesis in mathematical terms and in words.Report the level of significance.Include the test statistic and the P-value. See Step 2 in the Python script.Provide your conclusion and interpretation of the test. Should the null hypothesis be rejected? Why or why not?Does a side-by-side boxplot of the 10-year returns of ETFs from the three sectors confirm your conclusion of the hypothesis test? Why or why not? See Step 3 in the Python script.Finally, be sure to review the Discussion Rubric (ATTACHED) to understand how you will be graded on this assignment.

ASU Patient Process at East Southern Kentucky Community College Case Study Analysis
Week 9 Assignment 2 - Case Study: Total Quality Management: The Patient Process at East-Southern Kentucky Community College Medical ClinicDr. William Jones has been the director of the health center clinic at East-Southern Kentucky Community College (ESKCC) for about six months. Having been a part of a much larger medical center in the past, he has seen the benefits of total quality management (TQM) and feels that it would help improve the operations at the ESKCC clinic. He has made some positive changes to the staffing of the clinic, but now feels that he must tackle making improvements to its operations. Consequently, he has created a TQM team (of which you are a part) and has made certain that they have received the necessary training to start examining the various processes within the health center's operations. The ambulatory health service department of the ESKCC health center clinic has received increased complaints from the ESKCC student body and staff concerning the services it offers in its walk-in urgent care clinic. Dr. Jones feels that this center would be an excellent starting point for the TQM team.The DataThe team is presented with the following data regarding student/staff complaints: Patient Complaint DataMonthComplaint Type 1Complaint Type 2Complaint Type 3Complaint Type 4Complaint Type 5Complaint Type 6Total VisitsSeptember3141174813115841October21278411152971November1148112428311175December7144121738121042January153012141741671February21626128511631March27951623641512April4734313153781May421217182473Total248402872091543119097Complaint Type DescriptionsComplaint TypeComplaint Description1The quality of service received.2Waiting time was too long.3Follow-up care was not available.4Clinic was hard to find in the health center.5The medical care/treatment took too long.6The medical center could not find the individual's medical records.The Patient Review ProcessThe process for a patient (either a student or a staff member) coming in because of a problem is as follows:When a patient arrives at the clinic, the patient first sees the receptionist, who checks to see if the patient was seen before. If so, the receptionist pulls the medical record from the file. If the patient is new, the receptionist has the patient complete the necessary forms and creates a medical record. Patients are seen by the physician in the order they arrive. If one of the two examination rooms is empty, the nurse escorts the patient to the examination room and records the patient's medical complaint. If no examination rooms are available, the nurse escorts the patient to a waiting area until an examination room is available.When the patient is in the examination room, the nurse performs routine tests. The nurse then writes the complaint and findings on a medical examination form, a form that will be subsequently filed with the patient's medical record. The physician examines the patient and orders medical tests, if necessary. A diagnosis and treatment plan is presented to the patient by the physician; a written copy of this plan and any other appropriate instructions are written on the medical examination form.When the physician releases the patient, the patient returns to the receptionist, who prepares a bill. If the patient has health insurance, the bill is sent to the health insurance carrier. The patient leaves after either paying the bill (by cash, check, or credit card) or signing the forms to authorize payment by his or her health insurance company. If the health insurance company refuses to pay or partially pays the bill, the receptionist bills the patient by mail. Any patient with an unpaid bill or bad credit history is refused subsequent treatment until the old bill is paid. InstructionsAs a member of the ESKCC TQM team, you are asked to put together a report that recommends improvements to the overall patient process. Create a 4–6 page report in a Word document (copy and paste any charts created in Excel) addressing the following tasks: Construct a Pareto Chart for the data regarding complaints to the health center that is presented in Table 1. Describe two conclusions from examining this data.Develop a control chart for the waiting time complaint (complaint #2). Explain how the control chart is developed and show the calculation process.Illustrate the causes for Complaint #2 in a fishbone diagram. (Note: refer to the readings for examples.)Develop a flow chart for the process that the clinic uses for a patient who comes into the ambulatory center. Draw two conclusions from examining the flow chart regarding either or both of the following:How the process affects the patient.Potential sources of unnecessary complexity.Determine three improvements to streamline the patient process based on the insights that you gain from examining the process flow chart as well as your understanding of total quality management concepts from your course readings. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:Propose improvements to a health services organization based on total quality management (TQM) concepts.By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution's policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.
