u are the manager of a company that owns several outpatient surgery facilities. You want to determine if there are differences in overall patient health as measured by the General Health Status Score (GHSS) by type of patient carrier (Government, Insured, Uninsured).

Your IT department provided you data on patient visits by type of carrier and the GHSS. Prepare a report to share with the owners of the facility that will help you make informed decisions about whether or not GHSS differ by type of carrier and what the implications of these findings are on operations of the facility. Based on your findings provide recommendations on your plan moving forward to improve the functioning of your facilities in generating revenue. Prepare a report that addresses each of these areas.

Purpose of analysis is to determine whether  there are differences in overall patient health as measured by the General Health Status Score (GHSS) by type of patient carrier (Government, Insured, Uninsured).

b)

Importance of the analysis:

We will make  a report to share with the owners of the facility

that will help you make informed decisions about whether or not GHSS differ by type of carrier and what the implications of these findings are on operations of facillity

c)

IV are independent variable or cause variable

independent variable are Surgery time

DV are dependent variable or effect variable GHSS score

d)

As per data provided

Sample size is 29

Data was collected in Jan 2018

e)

Hypothesis testing can be used

Regression analysis can be used

ANOVA(Analysis of variance) can be used

f)

Surgery time mean is 27.58

we can use the null and alternate hypothesis testing
