Discussion:We are told that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. This is logical just due to the effects of inflation alone, but there are a multitude of other factors that also play into this phenomenon. The most significant concern among those factors is the issue of risk. Given that any future investment is based on a set of assumptions and educated guesses, we have to factor in the effects of risk as we look at the value of money over time. For this discussion, do the following:Locate at least one online resource (a link, article, or book, for example) pertaining to the application of time value of money and/or risk & return either within a broad industry context or within the healthcare field. In your discussion, examine the content and then share the resource (post your resource and use APA style). Summarize the resource(s) and what you find useful about it. Once your material is posted, be sure to review and comment on the materials posted by at least two of your peers. **Module 2 is attached****please make sure to follow all directions the discussion should only be a page long**

Essential Statistics and Analytics Option 2 Introduction: As a healthcare professional, you will work to improve and maintain the health of individuals, families, and communities in various settings. Basic statistical analysis can be used to gain an understanding of current problems. Understanding the current situation is the first step in discovering where an opportunity for improvement exists. This course project will assist you in applying basic statistical principles to a fictional scenario in order to impact the health and wellbeing of the clients being served. Scenario: NCLEX Memorial Hospital You are currently working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the Infectious Diseases Unit. Over the past few days, you have noticed an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. You believe that the ages of these patients play a critical role in the method used to treat the patients. You decide to speak to your manager and together you work to use statistical analysis to look more closely at the ages of these patients. You do some research and put together a spreadsheet of the data that contains the following information: Client numberInfection Disease StatusAge of the patient You need the preliminary findings immediately so that you can start treating these patients. Time to get to work!!!! Background information on the Data: The data set consists of 60 patients that have the infectious disease with ages ranging from 35 years of age to 76 years of age for NCLEX Memorial Hospital. Remember this assignment will be completed over the duration of the course. The requirements for each assignment are as follows: Instructions for Each Assignment in the Course Project Part 1 -- Submit during Module 02: Your analysis of this data set should include the following: Introduce your scenario and data set. Provide a brief overview of the scenario you are given above and the data set that you will be analyzing. Classify the variables in your data set. Summarize and graph your data. Choosing one of the quantitative variables from your data set, construct a frequency distribution that has a minimum of 5 classes (please do not include more than 10 classes). The frequency distribution should contain the following columns: Interpret the results of your frequency distribution in context of your chosen scenario. Using the same variable from your frequency distribution, construct a histogram. Conclusion Recap your ideas by summarizing the information presented. This assignment should be formatted using APA guidelines and be a minimum of 2 pages in length. Part 2 -- Submit during Module 03: Discuss the importance of the Measures of Center and the Measures of Variation. What are the measures of center and why are they important? What are the measures of variation and why are they important? Using the variable that you analyzed in Part 1, calculate the measures of center and measures of variation. Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Mean Median Mode Midrange Range Variance Standard Deviation Perform an exploratory data analysis on your variable by calculating the 5-number summary. Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Conclusion Recap your ideas by summarizing the information presented. This assignment should be formatted using APA guidelines and be a minimum of 2 pages in length. Part 3 -- Submit during Module 04: Introduce your assignment with a discussion of probability distributions. What is a probability distribution? What are the requirements for a probability distribution? How are probability distributions helpful for the analysis of your chosen scenario? Using the discrete/quantitative variable that you analyzed in Part 1, construct a probability distribution for the data. Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Calculate the parameters of your probability distribution. Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Mean Variance Standard Deviation Use the Range Rule of Thumb to identify any unusual results. Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Conclusion Recap your ideas by summarizing the information presented. This assignment should be formatted using APA guidelines and be a minimum of 2 pages in length. Part 4 -- Submit during Module 05: Using all of your Course Project Assignments (from Parts 1, 2, and 3), create a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation that summarizes your analysis. Your PowerPoint should include the following: Slide 1: Title PageSlide 2: Description of your chosen scenario and data set and introduce the variable(s) used for your analysisSlide 3: Frequency Distribution and Histogram for the discrete variable that you analyzed. Interpret your distribution and histogram in context of your chosen scenario.Slide 4: Measures of Central Tendency Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario.Slide 5: Measures of VariationInterpret your results in context of your chosen scenario.Slide 6: Probability distribution for your variable(s)Interpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Slide 7: Include the Mean, Variance and Standard deviation of your probability distributionInterpret your results in context of your chosen scenario. Discuss any unusual values identified from your analysis.Slide 8: ConclusionRecap your ideas by summarizing the information presented.Slide 9: References in APA formatGive credit to any sources used for your analysis This assignment should be formatted using APA guidelines and a minimum of 9 slides in length.

Using Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset .Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a Pearson correlation and bivariate regression. Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your correlation and bivariate regression results for each research question. Do not forget to evaluate if the correlation and bivariate regression assumptions are met and report the effect size. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.
