Response to question 1:
Part a:
Table 1: Results for the cost of nursing staff with Psychiatric wards
Therefore, the formula for calculating the 99% confidence interval is
x ± Z s
√n
Substituting the value of mean and standard deviation, which is derived from the table, we
get
72.41 ±
Z α
2
∗59.48
√22
The value of Z equals 2.58
72.41 ± 2.58∗59.48
4.69
72.41 ±2.58∗28.12
72.41 ±5.457
Therefore, the 99% confidence interval is 66.953≤ Z ≤ 77.867
Part b:
