The question addresses statistical calculations related to a neonatal unit and a maternity ward. Calculating the bassinet occupancy percentage requires additional data, while finding probabilities related to birth rates and neonatal weight changes uses concepts of mean, standard deviation, and probability distributions in a college-level Mathematics or Health course.

The question provided is concerning statistical calculations that would be typically covered in a college-level Mathematics or Health course. The information given includes two different situations: first, the daily statistics for a neonatal unit, requiring the computation of the bassinet occupancy percentage, and second, various scenarios involving average lengths of maternity stays and the probability of certain outcomes related to birth and neonatal care.

For the neonatal unit statistics, the correct final answer would require additional data than what's provided. For maternity ward calculations, these would involve understanding and applying concepts of mean, standard deviation, and probability distributions.

For example, if we know the total number of bassinets and the number of bassinets occupied, we could find the bassinet occupancy percentage. With an average of 60 births per day in a maternity ward, as mentioned in one of the question snippets, we can find the mean number of births per hour by dividing this number by 24, and standard deviation calculations would depend on more specific data. Probability calculations for specific events—like the number of births in an hour or neonatal weight changes—require use of the appropriate probability distribution models.
