It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction

It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction to Statistics class. Why is it important for a person working in health care to understand statistical concepts? To answer this question, please provide two specific examples incorporating two different statistical terms from “Visual Learner Statistics” (https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/the-visual-learner-v2.1.html). Do not use the same examples as those in a prior post. You may reference other articles in this topic or conduct your own scholarly research if more statistical terms are needed.
Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

Design an experiment with one independent variable (with at least two levels) and one dependent variable. Additionally, what levels of measurement would you use when collecting your data?
Example: XYZ hospital wanted to increase compliance of staff using hand sanitizer after every interaction with a patient. In order to gain compliance, they set up a buzzer when staff exited the patient’s room. For the treatment group, a buzzer would ring for 1 second after exiting the room unless staff had pressed the hand sanitizer lever. The control group did not have the buzzer activated, so no sound would emit when exiting the patient’s room.
Independent Variable: Presence of a buzzer sound or not.
Dependent Variable: Number of times the hand sanitizer lever was pressed.
Level of Measurement: Ratio
In your responses to other students, identify a strength or weakness of another student’s example design.
Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

Descriptive Research: Descriptive research involves observing a phenomenon and also provides information about the scope of its problem, its main characteristics, and the situations in which it is most likely to occur. This type of research does not allow any manipulation of variables. It tends to explore new concepts and gain an understanding of variables in their original forms (Gray & Grove, 2021). Descriptive research is easy to conduct, irrespective of the type, and data collection is done at a single point without much effort.
Explanatory research: This type of research aims to understand the relationship among phenomena and determine how they affect each other. It focuses on why and how certain events happen.
Prediction research: This type of research aims to forecast what may seem like a future outcome in a given situation. Prediction research is valuable because it enables one to anticipate a specific outcome that is likely to take place and initiate necessary preparations and preventive measures.
Control research involves modifying or intentionally manipulating a situation to see if a desired outcome is achieved (Gray & Grove, 2021). This type of research often helps determine an intervention’s effectiveness or preventative measures.
Illustration of control research
According to the CDC (2024), approximately 795,000 people have strokes in the US, and about 185,000 strokes are in people who have had a previous stroke. Stroke recurrence after the first time is likely high. To prevent stroke from recurring, a control study is applied.  The patient’s lifestyle is modified to help prevent the recurrence of stroke. Various lifestyle intervention programs is initiated. The patient is placed on dietary modifications, encouraged to engage in regular physical activities, smoke cessation support, adherence to medication (such as antihypertensives, statins, anticoagulants), and blood pressure control. By enabling patients to adopt these measures to prevent the recurrence of stroke, a controlled study is seen to be applied, and most times, these patients do not return for a second stroke (desired outcome).
