Question

5. The data below gives the length of stay (in days) for patients undergoing a certain surgical procedure. The samples come from two different hospitals. Hospital A: 47 25 35 35 30 35 35 5 Hospital B: 30 30 21 30 10 21 10 23 (a) Draw simultaneous boxplots of these samples. (b) Use your plots in (a) to answer (1) and (2) below. (1) In which hospital do the patients tend to stay longer? (2) In which hospital is the length of stay more variable? (c) What numerical measures could you use to answer the questions in (b)? Compute these numerical measures for each hospital. Hint: There will be 3 measures for each: 2 indicating the center or location values and (at least) 1 indicating the spread of the data.
