Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Basic Laboratory Skills

Performing statistical analysis of data should include the following:

- Using mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and variance to analyze data sets and describe patterns and departures from patterns
- Presenting data in graphical display (e.g., dot plot, histogram)

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the definitions of mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and variance? How might the calculation of these provide useful data in a biomedical laboratory analysis?
- In what types of situations might standard deviation provide useful biomedical laboratory data?
- What are some examples of conclusions that may be drawn from the statistical analysis of biomedical laboratory data?
