Chapter 1, Problem 1CQQ

Hospitals In a study of births in New York State, data were collected from four hospitals coded as follows: (1) Albany Medical Center; (1438) Bellevue Hospital Center; (66) Olean General Hospital; (413) Strong Memorial Hospital. Does it make sense to calculate the average (mean) of the numbers 1, 1438, 66, and 413?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Whether it makes sense to calculate the average of numbers 1, 1438, 66 and 413.

Answer to Problem 1CQQ

No, calculating average of numbers 1, 1438, 66 and 413 does not make any sense.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data is related to the hospitals about the study of births in New York State. Also, the hospitals are coded and mean for the numbers is calculated.

Justification:

The data about births is collected from four hospitals and are coded as, (1) Albany Medical Center, (1438) Bellevue Hospital center, (66) Olean General Hospital and (413) Strong Memorial Hospital.

Identifying the wrong with the calculation:

The mentioned numbers 1, 1438, 66 and 413 represent the codes of the four hospitals, but do not represent the measure or count of any quantity. This implies that calculating the mean for these values does not make sense as these numbers are not measurable quantities.
