Question Description
As a hospital administrator of a large hospital, you are concerned with the absenteeism among nurses' aides. The issue has been raised by registered nurses, who feel they often have to perform work normally done by their aides. To get the facts, absenteeism data were gathered for the last three weeks, which is considered a representative period for future conditions. After taking random samples of
Day | Aides Absent | Day | Aides Absent | Day | Aides Absent |
1 | 66 | 6 | 55 | 11 | 44 |
2 | 44 | 7 | 33 | 12 | 33 |
3 | 22 | 8 | 22 | 13 | 77 |
4 | 33 | 9 | 77 | 14 | 33 |
5 | 66 | 10 | 77 | 15 | 66 |
