  Assessment Description
There is often a requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within an organization or for health care
information. Every year, the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient
demographics. Understanding diferences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs
health care professionals about 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. Refer to your textbook and the topic Resources, as
needed, for assistance with creating Excel formulas.
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 are calculated, provide a 150-250-word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the
spreadsheet. This should include diferences and health outcomes between groups.  APA style is not required, but solid academic writing
