BHE 220, Introduction to Health Descriptive Statistics
The attachment are the stats that I did in the first essay and need to be used to complete this one.
which represents the number of steps I take daily for 10 days.
The following is what I need in the report:
1.Calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation of the measurements taken in Module 1 SLP. Show your work and be sure to express each value in units.
2.Discuss which measure of central tendency you think most accurately describes the variable that you measured. Provide a thorough explanation.
3.Describe the spread/distribution of your data. Be sure to describe the variance of distribution and the concept of standard deviation as a measure of dispersion in your response.
4.Conduct a scholarly search on the internet to find reported health statistics on the variable that you are measuring. For example, if you are measuring your total daily caloric intake, American Dietetic Association. Identify the source.
The uploaded document is the initial report I wrote that contains the data needed to complete. If the last questions can't be answered on one page than forgo it.

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
1 .Calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation of the measurements taken in Module 1 SLP. Show your work and be sure to express each value in units.
Time
Mean =Total/frequency= (30+15+15+20+30+15+18+30+15+15)/10=203/10=20.3 minutes
Mode(The most common
Ascending order 15,15,15,15,15,18,20,30,30,30
Hence mode is 15 minutes
Median( As there are ten observations the median is the 5.5 value
Ascending order 15,15,15,15,15,18,20,30,30,30
Median=(15+18)/2=16.5 minutes
Steps
Mean =Total/frequency= (3600+2000+2000+2032+4000+1800+1862+3280+2000+1692)/10/= 24,266/10= 2426.6
Mode(The most common
Ascending order: 1692,1800,1862,2000,2000,2000,2032,3280,3600,4000
Hence mode is 2,000
Median(
Ascending order: 1692,1800,1862,2000,2000,2000,2032,3280,3600,4000
Median = (2000+2000)/2=4000
2. Discuss which measure of central tendency you think most accurately describes the variable that you measured. Provide a thorough explanation.
The mean is the best measure of central tendency that describes the average time spent exerc...
