The questions are in bold followed by answers.
1. In Table 1, identify the level of measurement for the current therapy
variable. Provide a rationale for your answer.
Answer: The current therapy variable was measured at the nominal level. These
drug categories were probably developed to be exhaustive for this study and
included the categories of drugs thesubjects were receiving. However, the
categories are not exclusive, since patients are usually on more than one category
of these drugs to manage their health problems. The current therapies are not
measured at the ordinal level because they cannot be rank ordered, since no drug
category can be considered more or less beneficial than another drug category
(see Figure 1-1; Grove & Gray, 2019).
2. What is the mode for the current therapy variable in this study? Provide a
rationale foryour answer.
Answer: The mode for current therapy was β blocker. A total of 100 (94%) of the
cardiac
patients
were receiving this category of drug, which was the most
common prescribed drug for thissample.
3. What statistics were conducted to describe the BMI of the cardiac patients
in this sample?Discuss whether these analysis techniques were appropriate or
