Count data, such as the number of events occurring in a specified period of time, are
often described by which probability distribution?
1. Binomial
2. Chi-square
3. Normal
4. Poisson - ANSWERPoisson
, is often used to describe count data and can be used to describe rate data by including
an offset term for the denominator of the rate - ANSWERPoisson Distribution
the probability distribution for the number of successes in a sequence of Bernoulli trials,
which are a series of trials where each trial can either succeed or fail, the trials are
independent, and the probability of success is the same for each trial. -
ANSWERbinomial distribution
is a right-skewed distribution where the area under the curve is equal to one, it starts at
0 on the x-axis and extends infinitely to the right but never touches the x-axis, and
where the curve looks increasingly normal as the degrees of freedom increase -
ANSWERChi-square distribution
a type of bell-shaped curve that is centered around a mean and approaches the x-axis
when it is greater than 3 standard deviations away from the mean. - ANSWERNormal
Distribution
The Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare demonstrates that small area variations in Medicare
expenditures across geographic areas are primarily attributable to differences in:
1. Physician practice styles
2. Consumer preferences for high-cost services
3. Age of the population served
4. Health status of the population served - ANSWERPhysician practice styles
After identifying and appointing expert members to inter-professional teams for
implementing health initiatives, the administration:

2. role should only consist of receiving periodic progress reports.
3. should plan to confirm the team norms and dynamics are productive.
4. can announce that the initiative was successfully launched. - ANSWERshould plan to
confirm the team norms and dynamics are productive
What is an evaluation designed to present conclusions about whether a program should
be sustained, changed, or eliminated?
1. Formative evaluation
2. Implementation evaluation
3. Process evaluation
4. Summative evaluation - ANSWERSummative evaluation
evaluation falls into one of the two broad categories: formative and summative.
____________ evaluations should be completed once your programs are well
established and will tell you to what extent the program is achieving its goals -
ANSWERsummative evaluations
