    • Why do we need confidence intervals?
  4. Based on your selected topic, evaluate the following:

      • Did you notice any changes in your interval estimate? Explain.
      • What conclusion(s) can be drawn about your interval estimates when the confidence level is increased? Explain.
  6. Discuss the process for hypothesis testing.
    • Discuss the 8 steps of hypothesis testing?
    • When performing the 8 steps for hypothesis testing, which method do you prefer; P-Value method or Critical Value method? Why?
  7. Perform the hypothesis test.
    • If you selected Option 1:
      • Original Claim: The average salary for all jobs in Georgia is less than $65,000.
      • Test the claim using α = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.
    • If you selected Option 2:
      • Original Claim: The average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 65 years of age.
      • Test the claim using α = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and σ is unknown.
    • Based on your selected topic, answer the following:
      1. Write the null and alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify which hypothesis is the claim.
      2. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed? Explain.
      3. Which test statistic will you use for your hypothesis test; z-test or t-test? Explain.
      4. What is the value of the test-statistic? What is the P-value?
        What is the critical value?
      5. What is your decision; reject the null or do not reject the null?
        1. Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.

You are currently working at Grady 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 number

· Infection Disease Status

· Age of the patient

You need the preliminary findings immediately so that you can start treating these patients. So let’s get to work!!!!

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 Grady Memorial Hospital.
