Question:

Active Management of Labor (AML) was introduced in the 1960s to reduce the amount of time a woman spends in labor during the birth process. R. Rogers et al. conducted a study to determine whether AML also translates into a reduction in delivery cost to the patient. They reported their findings in the paper €œActive Management of Labor: A Cost Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial€ (Western Journal of Medicine, Vol. 172, pp. 240€“243). The following table displays the costs, in dollars, of eight randomly sampled AML deliveries.
