11 Staffing is always a concern for hospitals. Too much staff and money is wasted, if there is not enough staff, and there are shortages and people must be diverted to another hospital at a loss of earnings to the hospital. The needs can change by both season and the week of the month. Staffing has always been the same for each of the spring months. In an effort to determine if this is reasonable, the number of occupied beds for the first week of each of these months is being compared. Is there evidence that the number of occupied beds remains constant the first week of each of these months? March April May 190 147 143 182 137 150 186 135 146 179 143 151 170 154 143
