Watch three videos (\”Measure of Center \’Mean,\’\” \”Measure of Center \’Median,\’\” and \”Measure of Center \’Mode\’\”) in the Calculations section of \”The Visual Learner: Statistics,\” located in the Topic 2 Resources.
Go to the Random.org website, provided in the Topic 2 Resources, to generate a set of random numbers. Click on the \”Get Sets\’ link at the bottom left of the page to generate some data. (Note: If you are not able to access the link, you can randomly generate 10 numbers yourself for this calculation.)
Imagine these numbers are the care satisfaction scores from a recent sample of discharged patients. Randomly select one row of numbers to use for the following calculations:
- What was the mean?
- What was the median?
- What was/were the mode/s?
- Given that the range of data was between 1 and 20, what do these numbers tell you about the overall satisfaction of the patients?
- If you were reporting these scores back to your supervisor, how would you explain or interpret these satisfaction scores?
Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 280 words and include at least two references cited using APA format and with DOI links or direct links for accessing the sources.
