The community hospital is studying its distribution of patients. A random sample of 317 patients presently in the hospital gave the following information: Type of Patient Old rate of occurrences of the types of patients Present number of occurrences of these types of patients Maternity ward 20% 65 Cardiac ward 32% 100 Burn ward 10% 29 Children's ward 15% 48 All other wards 23% 75 Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the distribution of patients in these wards has not change
The community hospital is studying its distribution of patients. A random sample of 317 patients presently in the hospital gave the following information:
| Type of Patient | Old rate of occurrences of the types of patients | Present number of occurrences of these types of patients |
| Maternity ward | 20% | 65 |
| Cardiac ward | 32% | 100 |
| Burn ward | 10% | 29 |
| Children's ward | 15% | 48 |
| All other wards | 23% | 75 |
Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the distribution of patients in these wards has not changed.
Problem 1 (Test Statistic)
A. χ2 = 0.036
B. χ2 = 315.36
C. χ2 = 0.355
D. χ2 = 1101.94
E. χ2 = 0.6322
Problem 2 (p-value, conclusion)
A. p = 0.9965; RHo (Observed Values do not match Expectation)
B. p = 0.9860; FRHo (Observed Values match Expectation)
C. p = 0.9965; FRHo (Observed Values match Expectation)
D. p = 0.9860; RHo (Observed Values do not match Expectation)
E. p = 0.0035; RHo (Observed Values do not match Expectation)
