Data Driven Decision Making Template PROMPT B. Describe a real-world business situation that could be addressed by collecting and analyzing a set of data. RESPONSE My selected real world business situation is the effects of prenatal care and no prenatal care on infant mortality. B1. Summarize one question or decision relevant to the real-world business situation you will answer by collecting and analyzing a set of data. Is the average infant mortality rate of babies whose mother received no prenatal care significantly different than the standard? B2. Explain why the situation or question would benefit from a data analysis. The reason this real world situation would benefit from analysis is to potentially reduce infant mortality by ensuring access to prenatal care for pregnant women. B3. Identify data you will need to collect that is relevant to the situation or question. Note: A sample size of 30 or more is suggested to provide a statistically reliable finding. I will compare the infant mortality rate for mothers with no prenatal care in Tennessee to the national average in the U.S. for years 2012 – 2017. B4. Describe the data gathering methodology you will use to collect data. This data will be gathered from the CDC wonder database: Linked Birth / Infant Death Records . A 1-sample T-Test will be used to see if there is a difference in the infant mortality rate for mothers with no pre-natal care in Tennessee compared to the national average in the U.S. B5. Identify the appropriate data analysis technique you will use to analyze this data (e.g., linear programming, crossover analysis, t-test, regression). 1 Sample T-Test B5a. Explain why the data analysis technique you chose is an appropriate technique to analyze the data collected. I will be comparing data from Tennessee infant mortality rates with no prenatal care to the national rate in the U.S. to determine if Tennessee compares to the national average. The one sample t-test is the most appropriate analytical tool for my data because I will be working with a single sample and I will be able to calculate or access the sample mean and standard deviation; population standard deviation is not known for this data. The T-test compares the sample to the standard. C. Sources Used (if applicable) United States Department of Health and Human Services (US DHHS), Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Division of Vital Statistics (DVS). Linked Birth / Infant Death Records 2007-2017, as compiled from data provided by the 57 vital statistics jurisdictions through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program, on CDC WONDER On-line Database.
