During the summer of 2003, a nursing home measured the quality of administering medications to the residents. Quality was divided into three categories: excellent – medication received within 15 minutes of scheduled time; acceptable – medication received between 15 and 30 minutes of scheduled time; and poor – medication received within 30 minutes of scheduled time. The nursing home has set a quality standard that at least 75% of all medications should be of excellent quality. A sample of 200 medication administrations resulted in 138 classified as excellent, 41 as acceptable, and 21 as poor. At 5% level of significance, the conclusion with respect to refuting the nursing home’s assertion is. The P-value for question 1 is:a) 0.0228 b) 0.475 c) 0.034 d) 0.05 e) approximately zero.
