Chapter 4, Problem 49SE
A study of 31,000 hospital admissions in New York State found that 4% of the admissions led to treatment-caused injuries. One-seventh of these treatment-caused injuries resulted in death, and one-fourth were caused by negligence. Malpractice claims were filed in one out of 7.5 cases involving negligence, and payments were made in one out of every two claims.
- a. What is the
probability a person admitted to the hospital will suffer a treatment-caused injury due to negligence? - b. What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital will die from a treatment-caused injury?
- c. In the case of a negligent treatment-caused injury, what is the probability a malpractice claim will be paid?
