Part 1 TB Data Project 1

This document summarizes Bjorn Scott's tuberculosis (TB) data project. [1] Ten countries were randomly selected from the World Health Organization database to analyze and compare TB incidence, treatment success, and cohort rates. [2] Iceland was chosen for further analysis, finding the highest notified cases for females were ages 45-54 and 25-34, and no cases for males ages 5-14. [3] For Afghanistan, the treatment success rate of 95% was above the goal threshold of 85%, supporting the hypothesis that on average the country's success rate is higher than the national standard.

Part 1: TB Data Project

A. For this project, I went to World Health Organization: Countries and selected 10
countries using a random number generator to select 10 out of 194 countries. For this
method, I used a random sampling method.
B. The 10 countries I got in alphabetical order were

Total TB Incidence Treatment Succes Treatment Cohort


Per 100,000 Rates Rates

Afghanistan 189 95% 45 818

Austria 5 70% 380

Bahamas 12 68% 31

Guam 39 75% 57

Iceland 2.9 25% 12

Malawi 132 90% 14 863

Mauritiana 81 75% 2 409

Morocco 94 88% 29 018

Turkmenistan 47 83% 1 918

Ukraine 71 77% 13 218

C. For this part, I chose to do Iceland,


1. For females, the age range of 45-54 and 25-34 had the most notified cases.
2. For males, it was the age range of 5-14 that had the least including both no
incidences and no cases.
3. If there were 5000 total notified cases for the two genders, for females I would
have 0.145 cases in that age group of 5,000 and for males I would have none.

D. For this we’re using Afghanistan. For my country using the Hypothesis stated my country
was able to go above the goal line of 85%. My country's success rate was 95% and as shown on
our graph we had 0 people outside of that out of a sample size of 100. So I hypothesize that on
average my country's success rate is higher than the national threshold.
