Identifying and Interpreting Descriptive Statistics
Identifying and Interpreting Descriptive Statistics
Examine the survey results located in the Resources section of the Unit 6 Assignments page. Choose one of the items, determine the descriptive statistic that is reported, and indicate what it means. For example, “What is the highest level of education of this group?” (Please do not repeat the same topic as your classmates.)
Why did the researchers reach their conclusions? What did they actually find? Data Analysis entails describing, interpreting, and reporting essential information in an understandable way. It pulls elements or information together to present a clear picture of the information collected. Although it organizes the data collected, it does not make implications for practice.
The Course Outcomes (COs) we will apply in Unit 6 include:
· Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies.
· Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and lab significance related to evidence-based practice.
· Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects.
The results are in! Findings from “hypothetical” students may be found in the assignments tab in Unit 6 under the file called “Hypothetical Results from Survey.” Please review these fictional results and describe what they say about this sample of nursing students.
