Dependant and Independant Variable in Research Paper
Can you help me understand this Statistics question?
Read the paper by Werre, Boucher, Beachey carefully to answer the following questions:
- State the dependent variables and independent variables considered in the study.
- Identify and share the percentage of patients who were readmitted 30 days post discharge after receiving protocol RT?
- Discuss the factors that you found to be critical in determining the length of the hospital stay.
- State the null hypothesis (based on the subjects receiving non-protocol RT) of the probability of readmission after 30 days of discharge, and the alternate hypothesis.
- Share your calculation for the p-value for the proportion of subjects who will be readmitted after 30 days of discharge that received protocol RT.
- Discuss if your findings are statistically significant? (justify your answer with appropriate calculation / code).
