Final answer:
After summing up the stays of 80 women, each staying more than five days in an inpatient facility, it is probable that they collectively spent over a year in the hospital as 80 times 5 is 400 days, which exceeds the 365 days in a year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks whether, after summing up the individual stays of 80 women, each staying more than five days in an inpatient facility, it is likely that the total time spent would amount to more than a year. To determine this, we can use basic multiplication and addition. If each woman stayed more than five days, the minimum collective number of days spent by 80 women would be 80 women × 5 days = 400 days. Since a common year consists of 365 days, it is indeed likely that their combined stay exceeded a year.
