Confidence Intervals

January 30, 2021 Leave a comment Mathematics and Statistics, Undergraduate

Initial Post Instructions
Textbook: Chapter 8
Minimum of 1 scholarly source

Thinking of the many variables tracked by hospitals and doctors’ offices, confidence intervals could be created for population parameters (such as means or proportions) that were calculated from many of them. Choose a topic of study in the nursing field that is tracked (or that you would like to see tracked). Discuss the variable and parameter (mean or proportion) you chose, and explain why you would use these to create an interval that captures the true value of the parameter of patients with 95% confidence.

Consider the following:

How would changing the confidence interval to 90% or 99% affect the study? Which of these values (90%, 95%, or 99%) would best suit the confidence level according to the type of study chosen? How might the study findings be presented to those in charge in an attempt to affect change at the workplace?
