Problem 2: Please answer parts a, b, c, d An observational study of Alzheimer's disease (AD) obtained data from 16 AD patients exhibiting moderate dementia and selected a group of 10 control individuals without AD. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the elderly and advancing age is known to be a primary risk factor in AD diagnosis. Therefore, it was crucial for the study's credibility to examine whether the ages in the AD group might be significantly different than in the control group. The ages of the subjects in years are summarized in the R Output below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Descriptive Statistics: Alzheimers, Control Variable N N* Mean SE Mean StDev Minimum Q1 Median Q3 Maximum Alzheimers 16 0 79.76 1.67 6.68 77.00 79.25 87.00 92.25 93.00 Control 10 0 67.42 4.10 12.97 54.00 56.00 65.00 82.00 89.00

Statistics that help describe, summarize, and present information extracted from data. Descriptive statistics include concepts related to measures of central tendency, measures of variability, measures of frequency, shape of distribution, and some data visualization techniques/tools such as pivot tables, charts, and graphs.
