Table: patients admitted per ward - Ward A: 36; Ward B: 38; Ward C: 44. What is the average number of admissions per ward?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 39.3

  1. Step 1: Sum = 118. Step 2. 118 / 3 = 39.3. Answer: 39.3. Why not the others: 118: the sum was not divided by 3. 38: the median was used instead of the mean. 59: the sum was divided by 2.
