Assignment #1: Quantitative Analysis For this assignment, students should choose data from the quantitative analysis below and are asked to analyze it using Excel, RStudio (BONUS points).Data set:Minnesota Healthcare Database.xlsxMedicare National Data by CountyMN Hospital Report Data by Care Unit FY2013MN HCCIS Imaging Procedures 2013MEPS Dental FilesMEPS Inpatient Stay DatabaseStudents will develop an analysis report, in five main sections, including introduction, research method (research questions/objective, data set, research method, and analysis), results, conclusion and health policy recommendations. This is a 5-6 page individual project report.Here are the main steps for this assignment.Step 1: Students are required to submit the topic using topic selection discussion forum by the end of week 1 and wait for instructor approval.Step 2: Develop the research questionStep 3: Run the analysis using EXCEL (RStudio for BONUS points) and report the findings using the assignment instructions.The Report Structure:Start with the1.Cover page (1 page, including running head).Please look at the example http://www.apastyle.org/manual/related/sample-experiment-paper-1.pdf (you can download the file from the class) and http://www.umgc.edu/library/libhow/apa_tutorial.cfm to learn more about the APA style.On the title page include:Title, this is the approved topic by your instructor.Student nameClass nameInstructor nameDate2.IntroductionIntroduce the problem or topic being investigated. Include relevant background information, for example; Indicate why this is an issue or topic worth researching;Highlight how others have researched this topic or issue (whether quantitatively or qualitatively), andSpecify how others have operationalized this concept and measured these phenomenaNote: Introduction should not be more than one or two paragraphs.Literature ReviewThere is no need for a literature review in this assignment3.Research Question or Research HypothesisWhat is the Research Question or Research Hypothesis?***Just in time information: Here are a few points for Research Question or Research HypothesisThere are basically two kinds of research questions: testable and non-testable. Neither is better than the other, and both have a place in applied research.Examples of non-testable questions are:How do managers feel about the reorganization?What do residents feel are the most important problems facing the community?Respondents’ answers to these questions could be summarized in descriptive tables and the results might be extremely valuable to administrators and planners. Business and social science researchers often ask non-testable research questions. The shortcoming with these types of questions is that they do not provide objective cut-off points for decision-makers.In order to overcome this problem, researchers often seek to answer one or more testable research questions. Nearly all testable research questions begin with one of the following two phrases:Is there a significant difference between …?Is there a significant relationship between …? For example:Is there a significant relationship between the age of managers and their attitudes towards the reorganization?
