Medical Care A hospital district consists of six hospitals. The district administrators have decided that 48 new nurses should be apportioned based on the number of beds in each of the hospitals. The following table shows the number of beds in each hospital.
a. Determine the standard divisor. What is the meaning of the standard divisor in the context of this exercise?
b. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of nurses to be apportioned to each hospital.
c. Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of nurses to be apportioned to each hospital.
d. How do the apportionment results produced using the Jefferson method compare with the results produced using the Hamilton method?
