.This problem refers to the Gesundheit Hospital described in problem HW1 above.

a. Find the Jefferson apportionment of nurses to shifts based on number of patients

in the hospital.

[Hint: One of the following modified divisors will work: 13.3, 13.36, 13.42, 13.48, 13.54, 13.6. Before trying any of these, first think whether the modified divisor should be greater than 13.5 or less than 13.5.]

b. Based on the number of nurses each shift receives in the Jefferson apportionment, compute for each shift the average number of patients per nurse. This need not be a whole number, since it is an average, and will be different for each shift.

c. Which shift has the most patients per nurse?
