Its emergency room is the largest and most prominent in the city. Approximately 70% of emergency cases in the city come or are sent to Metro General's emergency room.

Hospital administration wants to monitor patient waiting time using statistical process control charts. At different times of the day over a period of several days, patient waiting times were recorded at random with the following results: Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 7 22 6 25 21 17 25 15 1 28 27 16…arrow_forward
