Objective
The objective of this assignment is to utilize statistical methods to assess the
relationship between the average blood glucose levels of patients with and
without diabetes.
Instructions
The conversation from last week has the team’s attention. One of the most
interesting relationships they would like to test for robustness is between the
average blood glucose level of patients with and without diabetes. Use statistical
methods to communicate to them what can be stated about the mean blood
glucose level of group a those with diabetes and group b those without.
1. Data Analysis:
– Calculate the mean blood glucose level for each group (Group A and
Group B).
– Perform statistical tests to determine if there is a significant difference in
the mean blood glucose levels between the two groups.
2. Statistical Methods:
– Choose appropriate statistical methods (e.g., t-test) based on the nature
of the data and assumptions.
– Interpret the results of the statistical tests. Specifically, communicate
what can be confidently stated about the difference in mean blood glucose
level of Group A (patients with diabetes) and Group B (patients without
diabetes)
3. Report Requirements:
– Prepare a concise report detailing your findings.
– Include the following in your report:
– Introduction: Briefly introduce the topic and the importance of
understanding blood glucose levels in relation to diabetes.
– Results: Present the mean blood glucose levels of both groups and the
results of the statistical tests.
– Conclusion: Summarize the key findings and implications.
5. Submission Details:
– Submit your report in a format suitable for academic assessment (e.g.,
PDF).
– Ensure your report is clear, well-organized, and supported by
appropriate statistical analysis and interpretation.
Assessment Criteria:
Your assignment will be assessed based on the clarity and depth of your
statistical analysis, the accuracy of your interpretations, and the overall
presentation of your findings.
