Suppose that a health plan asserts that a patient hospitalized with coronary heart disease requires no
more than 6.5 days of hospital care. However, we believe that a stay pf 6.5 days is too low. To examine
the claim of the health plan, assume further that we collected data depicting the lengths of stay of 40
patients who were hospitalized recently with coronary heart disease. The results of the sample are as
follows:
5,8,9,12,7,9,10,11,4,7,8,5,8,13,11,10,6,5,8,9
5,12,7,9,4,8,7,7,11,5,8,10,5,8,2,11,3,6,8,7
If a = 0.05, use these data to evaluate the claim by the health plan
more than 6.5 days of hospital care. However, we believe that a stay pf 6.5 days is too low. To examine
the claim of the health plan, assume further that we collected data depicting the lengths of stay of 40
patients who were hospitalized recently with coronary heart disease. The results of the sample are as

5,8,9,12,7,9,10,11,4,7,8,5,8,13,11,10,6,5,8,9

If a = 0.05, use these data to evaluate the claim by the health plan
