According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), hospitals that routinely staff with 1:8 nurse-to-patient ra

tios experience five additional deaths per 1,000 patients than those staffing with 1:4 ratios (2002). If the local hospital has decided to follow the 1:4 nurse-to-patient ratio, how many patients can they treat if they have 120 nurses?

Answer:

They can treat 480 patients if they have 120 nurses?

Step-by-step explanation:

The firt part of the problem gives no relevant information, because we are not asked of how many deaths the particular ratio policy produces,

A ratio is a proportion between two quantities. 1: 4 nurse patient indicate a nurse can treat 4 patients. There fore, using  arule of three we have

1 nurse/ 4 patients * x patients / 120 nurses

x patients = 120 * 4 = 480 patients.

A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Determine which test the student did better on.

He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.

SAT:

Scored 1070, so X = 1070

SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that \mu = 950, \sigma = 155.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}

Z = 0.77

ACT:

Scored 25, so X = 25

ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that \mu = 22, \sigma = 4

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}

Z = 0.75

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

The plot shown below describes the relationship between the average income in a city and the average rent for a 111-bedroom apar
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The average change in rent can be determined by substituting the value of <em>X</em> as 5000 in the regression equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple linear regression line is used to predict the value of the dependent variable from the independent variable.

The general form is:

Y=\alpha +\beta X

Dependent variables are those variables that are under study, i.e. they are being observed for any changes when the other variables in the model are changed.

The dependent variables are also known as response variables.

In this case the dependent variable is the average  change in rent for a 1-bedroom apartment.

Independent variables are the variables that are being altered to see a proportionate change in the dependent variable. In a regression model there can be one or more than one independent variables.

The independent variables are also known as the predictor variables.

In this case the independent variable is the average income in a city.

So, for an increase of $5,000 in incomes the average change in rent can be determined by substituting the value of <em>X</em> as 5000 in the regression equation.
