Clinic Clues: Medical Frequency Distribution Puzzle
Across
- 3. The lowest value in a class interval, such as the smallest systolic blood pressure in a group.
- 4. A patient whose lab result is much higher or lower than others, like an unusually long recovery time after surgery.
- 6. The raw data collected from patients, such as a list of blood sugar readings from clinic visits.
- 10. The total number of values up to a certain class, often used to show how many patients recovered within a certain number of days.
- 12. A graph using bars to show how many patients are in each class, for example visualizing the number of patients with different glucose levels.
- 13. The frequency for a class divided by the total number of patients, shown as a percentage, like the percent of patients with normal hemoglobin.
- 14. The highest value in a class interval, for example the highest heart rate in a group of patient readings.
- 15. A medical situation where frequency distribution is useful, for example tracking the number of patients with high blood pressure.
Down
- 1. The most frequently occurring value or class in the data set, like the most common medication dosage given to patients.
- 2. The process of arranging medical data into classes and counting patients in each class, such as sorting recovery times after surgery.
- 5. The visual display often used to summarize data from frequency tables in medicine, such as showing vaccine response rates.
- 7. The range of values a frequency table covers, such as grouping patient blood pressure readings.
- 8. A mark used to count frequencies before totaling, such as marking each patient with a fever during a shift.
- 9. The difference between the upper and lower limits of a class, like the span of ages in a pediatric patient group.
- 11. The number of patients who in a particular class, like how many patients have cholesterol levels in a certain range.
