Hi, so for this problem, we're going to explain what the number of nurses per 100 ,000 people is a better measure of availability of healthcare than a simple count.
00:10
So because let's take a state with 40 million citizens and another state with 2 million citizens.
00:20
So let's say the first state has 20 ,000 nurses, whereas the second state has 5 ,000 nurses.
00:31
So if we're going to use simple counts, you would say, oh, obviously the first state has better health care availability, have four times more nurses.
00:40
However, when you find a number of nurses per 100 ,000 people, it's only 1 over 200.
00:49
Oh wait, no, 1 over 2 ,000...
