When was the ancient tool developed?
How was the tool used?
Is this tool still in use today?
How is it being used today?
If it’s not in use today, if it still existed, how would you use it today?
What benefits would be gained from its use?
What modern tool/device would be its successor?

These are the questions that I would like for you to answer as you organize your thoughts about your ancient tool of choice. For example, the abacus is an ancient tool that originated in the ancient country of Babylon that was used for various computations. In some countries, the abacus is still used today, & its beneficial are beyond measure, literally & figuratively. It’s successor instrument is the modern day digital calculator.
You can’t use the abacus in your paper as an ancient tool of choice to write about.However, as you research your ancient tool of choice, & prepare your thought process, make sure you answer the abovequestions provided. Finally, make sure that your paper is at least 2 pages, or as close to 2 pages minimum as possible.

Pain, burning, numbness or tingling, but pain is always present.
Sensitivity to touch.
A red rash that begins a few days after the pain.
Fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over.
Itching.

 Some people also experience:

Fever.
Headache.
Sensitivity to light.
Fatigue.

Pain is always the first symptom of PR. For some, it can be intense. Depending on the location of the pain, it can sometimes be mistaken for a symptom of problems affecting the heart, lungs, or kidneys. Some people experience PR pain without ever developing the rash. The degree of pain that the individual experiences is seemingly proportional to the number of lesions.Dr. Zobb is extremely concerned that this new variant is especially challenging to the younger population, who are active and like to be outdoors. She has asked you as an analyst and statistician for some assistance in analyzing her initial data. She is not a biostatistician, so she requests that you explain the process you use and your interpretation of the results for each task.
Initial Data Analysis
Dr. Zobb has accumulated some data on an initial set of 20 patients across multiple age groups. She believes that the data suggests younger individuals are affected more than others. She wants you to complete the tasks shown here based on the data below.For each of the following, provide a detailed explanation of the process you used along with your interpretation of the results. Submit the response in a Word document and attach your Excel spreadsheet to show your calculations (where applicable). Be sure to number each response (e.g., 1.a, 1.b,¦).

Develop an equation to model the data using a regression analysis approach and explain your calculation process in Excel.
Calculate the r-square statistic using Excel.  Interpret the meaning of the r-square statistic in this case.  
Determine three conclusions that address the initial observations and are supported by the regression analysis.

Effects of Sunlight Analysis
In her initial observations, Dr. Zobb notices that the number of lesions that appear on a patient seems to be dependent on the amount of direct sunlight exposure that the patient receives. She is uncertain at this point why this would be the case, but she is a good experimentalist and is trying to establish some observations that have statistical validity. She has taken a limited amount of data on 8 patients and wants you to complete the appropriate analysis based on the data below (be sure to show your work):

Develop an equation to model the data using a regression analysis approach and explain your calculation process, using Excel.  
Megan has a small group of three additional patients that are the same age that she wants to examine for lesions.  She knows the number of hours of continuous exposure to direct sunlight that each has experienced. Predict the number of lesions that each of these patients will have based on the regression analysis that you completed in your initial data analysis: 

Patient 9 193 hours.
Patient 10 219 hours.
Patient 11 84 hours.

Determine three conclusions based on the correlation of the number of lesions to hours of sunlight exposure, using regression analysis.

Over the Counter Medication Effectiveness Analysis
Dr. Zobb wants to test several over the counter lotions”that is, lotions available without a prescription”that can be applied directly to the lesions. She wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean length of time it takes these three types of pain lotions to provide relief from the pain caused by these lesions. Megan is hoping that one of these lotions might be more promising than the others. Several sufferers (with roughly the same number of lesions) are randomly selected and given one of the three medications. Each sufferer records the time (in minutes) it takes the medication to begin working. The results are shown in the table below. She asks you to answer these questions (be sure to show your work).

State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis for this situation.
At α = 0.01, can you conclude that the mean times are different? Assume that each population of relief times is normally distributed and that the population variances are equal.  Hint: Use a one-way ANOVA to solve this problem. Be certain to show your calculations and describe the process you used to solve this problem.
Determine three conclusions on the effectiveness of the medication by addressing observations or hypotheses regarding these initial tests.

When a patient arrives at the clinic, the patient first sees the receptionist, who checks to see if the patient was seen before. If so, the receptionist pulls the medical record from the file. If the patient is new, the receptionist has the patient complete the necessary forms and creates a medical record.  
Patients are seen by the physician in the order they arrive. If one of the two examination rooms is empty, the nurse escorts the patient to the examination room and records the patient’s medical complaint. If no examination rooms are available, the nurse escorts the patient to a waiting area until an examination room is available.
When the patient is in the examination room, the nurse performs routine tests. The nurse then writes the complaint and findings on a medical examination form, a form that will be subsequently filed with the patient’s medical record.  
The physician examines the patient and orders medical tests, if necessary. A diagnosis and treatment plan is presented to the patient by the physician; a written copy of this plan and any other appropriate instructions are written on the medical examination form.
When the physician releases the patient, the patient returns to the receptionist, who prepares a bill. If the patient has health insurance, the bill is sent to the health insurance carrier.  
The patient leaves after either paying the bill (by cash, check, or credit card) or signing the forms to authorize payment by his or her health insurance company. If the health insurance company refuses to pay or partially pays the bill, the receptionist bills the patient by mail. Any patient with an unpaid bill or bad credit history is refused subsequent treatment until the old bill is paid.
