Interpret your results in context of the selected topic. MeanMedianMode Midrange RangeVarianceStandard DeviationDiscuss the importance of constructing confidence intervals for the population mean.What are confidence intervals?What is a point estimate?What is the best point estimate for the population mean? Explain.Why do we need confidence intervals?Based on your selected topic, evaluate the following:Find the best point estimate of the population mean.Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.Please show your work for the construction of this confidence interval and be sure to use the Equation Editor to format your equations. Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval in context of your selected topic. Based on your selected topic, evaluate the following:Find the best point estimate of the population mean.Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.Please show your work for the construction of this confidence interval and be sure to use the Equation Editor to format your equations. Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval in context of your selected topic. Compare and contrast your findings for the 95% and 99% confidence interval.Did you notice any changes in your interval estimate? Explain.What conclusion(s) can be drawn about your interval estimates when the confidence level is increased? Explain.Discuss the process for hypothesis testing. Discuss the 8 steps of hypothesis testing? When performing the 8 steps for hypothesis testing, which method do you prefer; P-Value method or Critical Value method? Why?Original Claim: The average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 65 years of age.Test the claim using α = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.Based on your selected topic, answer the following:Write the null and alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify which hypothesis is the claim.Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed? Explain.Which test statistic will you use for your hypothesis test; z-test or t-test? Explain.What is the value of the test-statistic? What is the P-value?What is the critical value?What is your decision; reject the null or do not reject the null? Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.State the final conclusion in non-technical terms.ConclusionRecap your ideas by summarizing the information presented in context of your chosen scenario.Please be sure to show all of your work and use the Equation Editor to format your equations. This assignment should be formatted using APA guidelines and a minimum of 2 pages in length.

Case: Massachusetts General Hospital’s Pre-admission Testing Area (PATA)McCarty, Kelsey, Gallien, et al. (2012, January 3). Massachusetts General Hospital's Pre-admission Testing Area (PATA).

Set in June 2009, this case study describes the conditions of this busy outpatient clinic prior to a process improvement effort by a collaborative team of MIT Sloan students and faculty and MGH clinicians and administrative staff. It also examines the complete PATA experience from both the patient and provider perspective. The importance of improving PATA is emphasized through a description of how this relatively small clinic has a very large downstream effect on the MGH operating rooms and the entire perioperative care system.You are required to review the entire case study information available at the reference above and write a paper based on the suggested case questions below.Construct a process flow diagram of the PATA visit from a patient's perspective. Calculate the capacity and utilization rate at each step in the process.Use capacity analysis tools (build-up diagrams or/and queuing) to decide if and where there is a bottleneck in the clinic. If a bottleneck does indeed exist, how long do patients wait as a result of the bottleneck? (As an approximation, assume that all appointment slots were filled and patients arrived on time.)Evaluate the three Task Force diagnoses - not enough time between appointments, not enough rooms, not enough physicians. Are these diagnoses valid? If so, are they primary contributors to long patient wait times? Why or why not?What factors contribute to variability in PATA process flow and what control, if any, does the clinic have to eliminate it?What changes would you recommend to improve PATA?Use the information provided in the Background readings. Please do any additional research as necessary.Review the information in PATA case study and become familiar with the products and processes.There is no set response to the case questions, so do not hesitate to think outside the box.It is essential to provide a well-written paper with detailed analysis.READ the information provided by the resources and references on the Background page. Understand the theory and concept of process management and productivity improvement.NOTE: Cite the references in the Background, as well as additional references you use in your Case paper.The report should be at least 5–6 pagesBackground Reading:Global Text Project (2017), Operations management: Special topic: supply chain management.
