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.
