    The document discusses a hospital data set including costs, mortality ratings, and facility types. It poses primary and secondary research questions about the relationship between mortality ratings and costs, and whether facility type impacts costs. Multiple charts and Minitab outputs would be attached to analyze the questions and draw conclusions.

    Individual Project: Checkpoint 5

    Introduction:
    The hospital data set includes information about hospital costs, Mortality rating, and facility types. The
    data is part of an Administration-wide effort to increase the availability and accessibility of information on
    quality, utilization, and costs for effective and informed decision-making. Use the data set that you
    generated for Checkpoint 1 to complete the rest of the checkpoints.

    o Facility Types - Kind of organization operating the hospital: one of Government, Private,
    Proprietary, Church, or Unknown
    o Mortality Rating - Overall rating between 1 and 3 stars, with 3 stars being the highest rating; 1
    represents the worst rating.
    o Procedure Heart Attack Cost - Average cost of care for heart attacks

    Upload the following documents:


    1) This document with your answers.

    Research Question
    Primary question:
    Is the rating of the hospital mortality affect the cost of the heart attack procedure?
    Secondary question:
    Does the hospital type a possible confounding variable for the cost of a heart attack procedure?

    Conclusions and Limitations


    Based on the information from the other checkpoints, answer the questions below:

    1) Primary question: Is the rating of the hospital mortality affect the cost of the heart attack procedure?

    a) Is there an association between hospital mortality rating and the procedure of Heart Attack
    Procedure cost?
    (Hint: Fitted Line Plot of the data, with 𝑥 as the explanatory variable and 𝑦 as the response
    variable from checkpoint 3).
    Attached Chart/graph, and answer the question.

    b) How strong is the relation between these factors?


    (Hint: what is the coefficient of correlation and is it a strong or weak correlation, reference to ‘part a’)

    c) Is there evidence you found in part a to support your claim (hint: From your previous hypothesis
    testing, what is the name of the test static, interpret the p-value and decision? State the
    conclusion in the context of the problem)?
    Attached Chart/graph and Minitab output, and answer the question.

    d) Given your conclusion in part c, are you at risk of making a Type I error or a Type II error? Provide
    your answer in the context of the problem.

    e) What is the conclusion of your study for the primary question?


    Is the rating of the hospital mortality affect the cost of the heart attack procedure?
    (Hint: Summarize your findings from the analysis above)
    2) Secondary question: Does the hospital type a possible lurking variable for the cost of a heart attack
    procedure?

    a) Is there an association between the facility types and the procedure of Heart Attack Procedure
    cost?
    (Hint: Relationship plot between the facility types and the procedure cost of heart attacks
    from checkpoint 3).
    Attached Chart/graph, and answer the question.

    b) Is there evidence you found in part a to support your claim (hint: From your previous
    hypothesis testing, what is the name of the test static, interpret the p-value and decision?
    State the conclusion in the context of the problem.
    Attached Chart/graph and Minitab output, and answer the question.

    c) Given your conclusion in part b, are you at risk of making a Type I error or a Type II error?
    Provide your answer in the context of the problem.

    d) What is the conclusion of your study on the secondary question?


    Does the hospital type a possible lurking variable for the cost of a heart attack procedure?

    (Hint: Summarize your findings from the analysis above)

    3) Suggest additional two factors that could be possible lurking variables for the procedure of Heart
    Attack Procedure cost for this study.
