Suppose the average length of stay in a chronic disease hospital of a certain type of patient
Question:
Suppose the average length of stay in a chronic disease hospital of a certain type of patient is 60 days with a standard deviation of 15. If it is reasonable to assume an approximately normal distribution of lengths of stay, find the probability that a randomly selected patient from this group will have a length of stay:
(a) Greater than 50 days
(b) Less than 30 days
(c) Between 30 and 60 days
(d) Greater than 90 days
