    There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

    Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups.

    Provide the following descriptive statistics:

    1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
    2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
    3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 275 (please do not include title page and references in word count) word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

    This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

    Use at least 3 scholarly references within the past 5 years to complete this assignment.
