How can I use confidence levels in statistics to solve a nurse patient ratio problem?
what informaitn would I need to do this? How would I collect data?
How would my information help me solve the problem?
For using Confidence Intervals in statistics to solve nurse patient ratio problem:
Research Question:
Is the existing Norse - Patient Ratio is equal to Specifed Nurse - Patient ratio prescribed
H0:Null Hypothesis: P = P0 (Existing Nurse - Patient Ratio is equal to Specified Nurse - Patient Ratio
HA:Alternative Hypothesis: P P0 (Existing Nurse - Patient Ratio is not equal to Specified Nurse - Patiet Raio
By Hypothesis testing of One - Sample Proportion Test, we can first calculate the test statistic Z and then test the same whether it is within the Rejection Region for given SignificanceLevel .
For the above purpose, the data to be collected:
From each hosspital, obtain the number of patients and number of nurses attending on them so that the sample data on Nurse - Patient Ratio.
Our information will definitely solve the problem of determining the existing Nurse -Patient Ratio is satisfactory.
