Chi Square Assignment MOHA 570

This document contains the results of a chi-square test run in SPSS to determine if there are statistically significant differences in deficiencies between for-profit and non-profit nursing homes. The test looked at medication errors (F332), significant medication errors (F333), and influenza/pneumococcal shots (F334). The results show a statistically significant difference for significant medication errors (F333), but not for the other variables. Limitations include the relatively close mean ranks between groups.

MANN-WHITNEY TEST 2

Directions: Using SPSS and the “sample two” dataset, run a chi-square test to determine if the
frequency of deficiencies of variables F332 (medication errors), F333 (significant medication
errors) and F334 (influenza/pneumococcal shots) are statistically significantly different between
for-profit and non-profit nursing homes. To calculate use nonparametric tests > legacy dialogues
> 2 independent samples. Define groups as “1” and then “0”. Cut and paste SPSS output data
below. Provide an APA-style results/interpretation/limitations paragraph below.

MANN-WHITNEY TEST 3

Results/interpretation/limitations: As we look at the ranks between medication error F332,

significant medication F333, and Influenza/pneumococcal shots F334. They are relatively close

numbers. However, we can look at the Z test statistics to identifies if we reject the null

hypothesis. All the Z values of these three test are negative ( F332: Z= -.934, F333: Z= -2.135,

F334: Z= -.224). The p-value shows that F333 is .033 is less than .05, we will reject the null

hypotheses, whereas F332 and F334 have greater p-value, we will keep the null hypotheses.
