FIRST ASSESSABLE ACTIVITY

STATISTICS WORKSHOP WITH EXCEL

Assessable and compulsory face-to-face practice with a weight of 10% of the
subject.

Objectives of the internship:

1.-Be introduced to the use of a statistical data analysis program. (Excel)
2.-Interpret the results obtained.
3.-Perform an objective test remotely.

The activity consists of two parts:

Face-to-face (in pairs): The student must have the Excel installed and the teacher
will do an introductory workshop to Excel. We will work on some data from a
document that will be used for the next part. One or both members of the couple
will bring the computer with the Excel installed.
It will be held during class hours on Thursday, November 10, 2022.

Remote (individual): Outside of class hours. Completion of class work. With the
results of the Excel document, an objective test will be carried out remotely on the
virtual campus.
The date of the online test will be Friday, November 11, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 11:59
p.m.
Instructions & Rubric:
Face-to-face Talller: Students who do not attend the workshop for unjustified
reasons, will fail the activity, regardless of the grade of the objective test remotely
and will fail in the subject in the ordinary call. They must carry out another activity
in the extraordinary call individually.
Development of the activity: The teacher will explain the software and ask
questions to all the couples, positively valuing the attention and participation.
The performance of activities that do not correspond to the practice will be
negatively assessed, each call to attention to a student will subtract 10% of the
grade of the activity from the couple who carries out the activity.
40% of the weight of the activity.

Objective remote test: Each student must answer 10 questions through a

questionnaire on the virtual campus.
• The questions are related to the Excel document that will be worked on in
class and incorrect questions do not subtract.
• To answer the form, it will be necessary to previously complete the practice
script and save the data obtained.
• The questionnaire, which lasts a maximum of thirty minutes, will be
completed by the student outside of class at the time indicated above.
• The questionnaire can only be answered once and once started it will have
to be completed.
• It is recommended to set aside a time to get the job done and not leave it
to the last minute.
• After-hours questionnaires will not be accepted.

STATISTICS WORKSHOP SCRIPT WITH EXCEL

We worked with a database of 40 patients suspected of having clinical hypothyroidism,

where TSH values (μU/ml), gender and age were collected.

A person is considered to have clinical hypothyroidism when their TSH values are above 10
μU/ml.

The table below shows the values of the variables studied in the 40 patients: TSH (μU/ml),
age, and sex (Female=M; Male = H).

TSH
CASE AGE TSH (μU/mL) SEX CASE AGE (μU/mL) SEX
1 33 7,4 M 21 61 14,8 M
2 41 0,6 H 22 29 8,3 M

a. Calculate all the descriptive measures you know.

c. It generates new variables and dichotomizes other variables.

FIRST ASSESSABLE ACTIVITY

a. Calculate all the descriptive measures you know.

1. Transfer the data to Excel by generating 4 columns.

Type the names of the variables in cells A1, B1, C1, and D1.

2. Calculate, for the four variables, all the descriptive measures you know.

You can accumulate the results in the rows below the data, for example, from box A43
onwards.

Formulas – More Functions – Statistics:

When calculating these functions, you need to specify the data range, for example, from
B2:B41 to indicate the age data on which you want to calculate the statistics.

Before including a well-known formula, you should put =

AVERAGE (to calculate the average).

VARS (to calculate variance).

DESVESTM (to calculate the standard deviation).

MAX; MIN; MEDIAN.

KURTOSIS to calculate the kurtosis of a quantitative variable. For example, for age, in a blank
cell type = and in the white box above the data array, type KURTOSIS (B2:B41) and when you
run it, you get kurtosis in that cell.

COEF.DE. CORREL Calculates the correlation coefficient between two variables (age and
TSH). In the boxes where Matrix is specified, we must indicate the range of values we want to
compare: B2:B41 in Matrix 1 and with the TSH values in Matrix 2.

A faster way to analyze your data is by using the Data Analytics resource. Verify that the
Data Analytics tab shows you. Otherwise, load the module by doing the following:

How to load tools for analysis in Excel: File-Options-Add-ins. In the Manage box, select Excel
Add-ins and click Go. Tools for analysis-OK.

Verify that Data Analysis appears on the Data tab.

Go to Data Analysis and generate the Descriptive Statistics of the variables, on a new sheet.

It also generates the histogram of the continuous variables. Select the last three squares in
the Histogram window.

b. Creates pie charts, scatter bar plots, and box plots

In main menu: "Insert" tab "Graphics" appears, choose "Recommended Graphics"

Box Chart: Select Data – Insert – Insert Stat Chart – Boxes & Whiskers. Under Serial Options, you
can specify that it includes the endpoint data.

Make several box plots: one for each quantitative variable. In addition, there are two in
which the values of age and TSH differentiated by sex appear. Discuss the results.

Scatter Plots: Scatter. Relate Age to TSH in a scatter plot, with Age on the X-axis.

Pie chart for sex.

c. Generate a new variable in the database, which is called TSH_10.

Its values are going to be "1 if TSH is less than 10 and 2 otherwise". Make a table of
frequencies for this variable.

In cell E1 we're going to write =

Then we'll go to Formulas – Logics – IF. In Logic Proof we will say C1<10. In Value if true we will
say 1 and in the other 2. When you hit OK, 1 or 2 is loaded into cell D1. Drag from the bottom
right corner of the cell to D41 and load 1 and 2 accordingly.

To perform the frequencies, you can use the option Formulas – Autosum – count numbers.
But you must specify the range of values you want to count. Being dichotomous, ordering
from lowest to highest is enough. The counting numbers option will be used later to construct
the Contingency Tables.

It dichotomizes age, into two groups of the same size defined by the median.

Use the same resource as in the previous section. The new variable can be called Median
Age, and its values will be in column F.
