Answer 1

Answer: There are average length of stay would be 7 for the month of August for adults and children.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of discharge days for adults and children = 1799

Number of adults and children were discharged = 201

Number of discharge days for new borns = 293

Number of new borns = 97

So, Average length of stay for the month of August for adults and children would be

`(1799+293)/(201+97)\\\\=(2092)/(298)\\\\=7.02\\\\\approx 7\\`

Hence, there are average length of stay would be 7 for the month of August for adults and children.
