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

6464

personnel files each​ day, the following data were​ produced:

Because your assessment of absenteeism is likely to come under careful​ scrutiny, you would like a type I error of only 1 percent. You want to be sure to identify any instances of unusual absences. If some are​ present, you will have to explore them on behalf of the registered nurses.
