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.

The table shows the number of grapes eaten over several minutes. What is the rate of change for the function on the table? 15 gr
Mkey [24]

Answer:

1. 15 grapes eaten per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a table that shows the number of grapes eaten over several minutes. We are asked to find the rate of change of our given function.

Since we know that rate of change of a function can be found by vertical change of the function divided by horizontal change of the function.  

\text{Rate of change of a function}=\frac{\text{Vertical change}}{\text{Horizontal change}}

\text{Rate of change of a function}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

y_2-y_1=Difference between two y-coordinates.

x_2-x_1=Difference between corresponding x-coordinates of y-coordinates.    

Upon substituting coordinates of any two points in above formula we will get,

\text{Rate of change of the function}=\frac{60-15}{4-1}

\text{Rate of change of the function}=\frac{45}{3}

\text{Rate of change of the function}=15

We can see that rate of change of our given function is 15 grapes eaten per minute and 1st option is the correct choice.

What is the volume of the composite figure?
m_a_m_a [10]
We are asked to solve for the volume of the composite figures and the answer is the summation of the two volumes such as the volume of a triangular prism and volume of a rectangular prism. In order to solve this, we need to recall the following formulas:
the volume of triangular prism = 1/2* b*h*l  and solving the volume, we have it:
the volume of triangular prism = 1/2 * 15* 16*20 = 3600 units³
the volume of rectangular prism = l*w*h  and solving the volume, we have it:
the volume of rectangular prism = 20*15*12 = 2400 units³

The total volume of the composite figure is the summation of the two volumes such as:
total volume = 3600 + 2400
total volume = 6000 units²

The answer is 6,000 units².

Answer:

The confidence interval for the difference in proportions is

-0.028\leq p_1-p_2 \leq 0.096

No. As the 95% CI include both negative and positive values, no proportion is significantly different from the other to conclude there is a difference between them.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct a confidence interval for the difference of proportions.

The difference in the sample proportions is:

p_1-p_2=x_1/n_1-x_2/n_2=(183/217)-(322/398)=0.843-0.809\\\\p_1-p_2=0.034

The estimated standard error is:

\sigma_{p_1-p_2}=\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1}+\frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2} } \\\\\sigma_{p_1-p_2}=\sqrt{\frac{0.843*0.157}{217}+\frac{0.809*0.191}{398} } \\\\\sigma_{p_1-p_2}=\sqrt{0.000609912+0.000388239}=\sqrt{0.000998151} \\\\ \sigma_{p_1-p_2}=0.0316

The z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

Then, the lower and upper bounds are:

LL=(p_1-p_2)-z*\sigma_p=0.034-1.96*0.0316=0.034-0.062=-0.028\\\\\\UL=(p_1-p_2)+z*\sigma_p=0.034+1.96*0.0316=0.034+0.062=0.096

The confidence interval for the difference in proportions is

-0.028\leq p_1-p_2 \leq 0.096

<em>Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of drivers who wear a seat belt at all times based on age group?</em>

No. It can not be concluded that there is a difference in the proportion of drivers who wear a seat belt at all times based on age group, as the confidence interval include both positive and negative values.

This means that we are not confident that the actual difference of proportions is positive or negative. No proportion is significantly different from the other to conclude there is a difference.
