Hospital Size Time to Defibrillation
< or equal to 2 minutes >2 minutes
Small (<250 beds) 1124 576
medium (250-499 beds) 2178 886
Large (>500 beds) 1387 565
One research question that could be posed using the available data: " is there an advantage to being at a larger hospital for patients suffering cardiac arrest?" Determine a method that would be appropriate for answering this research questions. Using Statcrunch and the available data, perform the statistical procedure deemed appropriate. In or to two paragraphs explain: 1) what method was used to answer the research questions
2) the reasoning for using that particular method
3) the relevant findings interpreting them in the context of the research questions.
CRITICAL VALUE:
degree of freedom (df) = 2
test statistics ( 14.7935) is greater than critical value (5.991)
so we reject null hypothesis ( H 0 ) ,hence there is advantage to being at larger hospital
