The strategy here is to analyze the distribution or variation of the data instead of focusing on the measures of central tendency. Measures of central tendency can be misleading especially where the distribution is asymmetrical (Graham 38-80). In this case, the median life expectancy of eight months does not necessarily mean a cancer patient dies within eight months.

Question 2: Shape of the distribution

The available literature shows that cancer patients have a median mortality of eight months. The distribution of the life expectancy of cancer patients is not normally distributed. The data is positively skewed. Half of the cancer patients live more than eight ...

This helps the health facility managers to make a prior plan of financial and material expenditure for the year or month to come.

For instance some children may achieve fast development in the initial 18 months and slower development in the subsequent stages; others may present with slow growth in the early stages and fast growth in the latter stages. However, ...
