Name: Wit: SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION EXERCISE The average length of a hospital stay in general or community hospitals in the United States is 6 days Assume that the population standard deviation is 7.7 days. A simple random sample of 49 patients is drawn from this population. 1. What is the sampling distribution of the sample mean? 2. What is the probability that the average length of stay for this group of patients will be no more thana week? 3. What is...
Length of Stay ~ Health insurers and federal government are both putting pressure on hospitals to shorten the average length of stay (LOS) of their patients. The average LOS for women is 4.5753 days according to Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2005. A first study conducted on a random sample of 20 hospitals in Michigan had a mean LOS for women of 3.8532 days and a standard deviation of 1.1599 days. A medical researcher wants to determine the sample...
Problem 3 The length of matermity stay in US. hospitals is normally distributed. with mean of 2.5 days and a standard deviation of 1.2 days. survey 68 women who recently bore children in U.S, hospitals Let X maternity stay in U.S. hospital, and X average maternity stay for a sample of size 68 a (30) X pick one) b. (30) x ~ | (pick one" l ( c (40) Which of the following is more likely? O an individual stays...
Consider a large hospital that wants to estimate the average length of stay of its patients. The hospital randomly samples n = 100 of its patients and finds that the sample mean length of stay is 4.5 days. Assume that the standard deviation of the length of stay for all hospital patients is 4 days. Find a 95% confident interval for true mean length of all hospital patients. O (3.84.5.16) O (3.72,5.28)
Problem 4 The length of maternity stay in U.S. hospitals is normally distributed, with mean of 2.6 days and a standard deviation of 0.5 days. We randomly survey 89 women who recently bore children in U.S. hospitals. Let X = maternity stay in U.S. hospital, and X = average maternity stay for a sample of size 89 a. X (pick one) ) b. X (pick one) . с. What is the probability that the average stay is more than 3...
5. The management of Recover Fast Hospital (RFH) claims that the average length of stay in their hospital after a major surgery is less than the average length of stay at General Hospital (GH). Independent random samples were selected and the following statistics were calculated. Sample size Mean (in days) Standard deviation (a) RFH 45 0.6 0.5 GH 58 4.9 0.6 (1POINT) Formulate the hypotheses но. mu1-mu2 a mu1<mu2 Compute the test statistic Using the p-value approach, determine if the...

Suppose you monitor quality assurance for a local hospital and want to estimate the average length of stay (LOS) at your hospital. You take a random sample of 30 patients and find that the average LOS is 3.8 days with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 days. What is the 95% confidence interval for the population average length of stay? Select one: (3.43, 4.17) (3.35, 4.25) (3.20, 4.40) (3.61, 3.82) none of these are correct
(3) Suppose the length of stay in a chronic disease hospital of a certain type of patient has the mean of 60 days with a standard deviation of 15 days. It is reasonably to assume an approximately normal distribution of the lengths of stay (a) If one patient is selected from this group at random, what the probability that this patient will have a length of stay between 50 and 90 days? at is selected from this group at random,...
Suppose we measure length of hospital stay (in days) for patients undergoing a particular surgical procedure. The mean is 3 days with a standard deviation of 3.2 days. (a) [10 points] If a sample of 35 patients is selected, what is the probability that their mean length of stay is less than 2 days? (b) [10 points] If a sample of 35 patients is selected, what is the probability that their mean length of stay is more than 5 days?
