 Assessment Instructions: Hypothesis Testing for Differences Between Groups

PRINT
Perform hypothesis testing on the differences between two groups and create an Excel document. Write a 2-3 page analysis of the results in a Word document and insert the results into this document.
Introduction
Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order they are presented.
Hypothesis testing is a foundational statistical technique used to make decisions about a hypothesis. A hypothesis test compares two mutually exclusive statements (null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis) where only one is true. Hypothesis testing can determine statistical significance by examining the probability that a given result would occur under the null hypothesis. For this assessment, you will perform hypothesis testing on the differences between two groups.
Overview & Preparation
Download the Assessment 2 Dataset [XLSX].
The dataset contains the following variables:
clinic1? (total number of visits per month for clinic 1)?.
clinic2 (total number of visits per month for clinic 2).
Instructions
An investor needs to make a decision on whether to acquire one of two medical clinics based on their productivity, as measured by the total number of visits per month. You have been asked whether there is a significance difference in the total number of visits per month between clinic 1 and clinic 2.
For this assessment, perform hypothesis testing on the differences between two groups in the Assessment 2 Dataset. Create an appropriately labeled Excel document with your results. Also write an analysis of the results in a Word document. Insert the test results into this document (copied from the output file and pasted into a Word document). Refer to Copy From Excel to Another Office Program for instructions.
Submit both the Word document and the Excel file that shows the results.
Grading Criteria
The numbered assessment instructions outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Hypothesis Testing for Differences Between Groups Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. You may also want to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
Generate a hypothesis about the difference between two groups in a dataset.
State null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis as an explanation and math equation.
Identify the appropriate statistical test in a dataset.
Provide your statistical rationale.
Perform appropriate statistical test of the difference between two groups in a dataset.
Interpret the results of a data analysis and state whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis based on the p-value and an alpha of .05.
Interpret p-value and statistical significance.
Write a narrative summary of the results that includes practical, administration-related implications of the hypothesis test.
Additional Requirements
Your assessment should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Write clearly, accurately, and professionally, incorporating sources appropriately.
Length: 2–3 pages
Resources: Not required.
APA format: Cite your sources using current APA format.
Font and font size: Times Roman, 10 point.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Plan for data collection, measurement, and analysis.
Generate a hypothesis about the difference between two groups in a dataset.
Identify the appropriate statistical test in a dataset.
Competency 2: Analyze data using computer-based programming and software.

Competency 3: Interpret results of data analysis for value-based health care decisions, policy, or practice.
Interpret the results of a data analysis and state whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis based on the p-value and an alpha of .05.
Write a narrative summary of the results that includes practical, administration-related implications of the hypothesis test.

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC

By
Assignment Overview The American Revolution and Independence As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors. Case Assignment Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence. In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking. The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern. Assignment Expectations Use concepts from the background
