Answer:

According ta a research conducted in New York it is clinched that 4% of the new admitted patient will suffer from a treatment-caused injury due to negligence.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability of data:

Number of people suffering from treatment-caused injury (I)= 4% of 81000

=3,240

Total number of people (N)= 81000

Probability= I/p = 3240/81000= 0.04

=4.00%

Therefore, the probability of a new admitted patient will suffer from a treatment-caused illness is 4.00%= 0.04.
