A hospital CFO is analyzing the cost benefits of using the patient
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
reminder system, which was implemented over a year ago, to see
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
if the automated system results in less missed appointments ("no-
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
shows").
She is comparing quarterly reports from this past year on volume
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
of patients who did not show up to their appointments, to the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
volume of patients of the previous year, who did not show up to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
their appointments, to see if the automated system has proven
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
effective. She is considering other variables as she reviews the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
data, but is primarily analyzing the number of "no-show" patients
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
from last year's quarterly reports to this year's.

There are two standard treatments for children with ADHD who
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
display a specific set of characteristics. One treatment is a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
cognitive behavioral intervention, and the other is a dietary and
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
biomedical intervention. Both treatments have equally strong i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
clinical evidence supporting their efficacy. A researcher proposes
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
a comparison of the two interventions to determine which is
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
preferable. The children will be randomized to one of two groups:
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
half of the children will receive the cognitive behavioral
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
,intervention and the other half of the children will receive the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
dietary and biomedical intervention. Which test is appropriate to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
determining the preferable treatment? Cross-sectionali,- i,- i,- i,-i,- i,-
The vice president, CMO, and Operations Team collected data on
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
resources used by patients who have undergone coronary bypass
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and the length of stays for a defined population of patients who
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
received CABG surgery. Since the raw data is complex to discuss
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
and evaluate, the team will use descriptive statistics to analyze
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
the data to support their decisions for recommendations.
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
Which of the following descriptive statistics could prove the most
