Question 1: Prescribed clot-dissolving drugs The variable 'clotsolv' indicates the type of clot dissolving drug prescribed to patients admitted to hospital for suspected myocardial infarction. Using SPSS, produce the relevant graph and table to summarise the 'clotsolv' variable and write a paragraph explaining the key features of the data observed in the output in the style presented in the report writing supplements (see Week 3/ Readings and activities - Reporting information about single variables and choosing the correct analysis). In figure 1, the types of Clot-dissolving drugs are distributed through the percentage bar chart the prescribed a sample of 400 cases of Australians patients with suspected myocardial infarction. From the chart, the most typical Cloth-dissolving drug is Alteplase as it has the highest percentage of distribution of 43.37%. Although Reteplase is also distributed constantly but there's a slight decrease in percentages compared to Alterplase, which results of 42.35%. While a few patients are applied with Streptokinase, which is the Cloth-dissolving drug has the least distribution of 8.93% among others, the others aren't need in applying any clot drugs with the smallest percentage, 5.36%.
