Table: patients admitted per ward - Ward A: 20; Ward B: 33; Ward C: 27. What is the average number of admissions per ward?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 26.7

  1. Step 1: Sum = 80. Step 2. 80 / 3 = 26.7. Answer: 26.7. Why not the others: 80: the sum was not divided by 3. 27: the median was used instead of the mean. 40: the sum was divided by 2.
