TASK 1:
SCENARIO: Felder Community Hospital is a 600-bed facility
A1: Search your textbook “Basic Allied Health Statistics and Analysis” for
“discrete” to find the section on discrete vs continuous data. Provide a
description of each type, making sure to highlight the differences.
A2: Offer an example from healthcare of each of the following scales of
measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio. Again, search the textbook
for these words for assistance.
B. Scroll to the bottom of the page under View Task to find the Supporting
Documents. You will need the Formulas and Statistics pages to complete
section B.
For sections B1-B5, you will show all your work for every calculation. You

calculations where the answer is a percentage (percentage of occupancy,
death rate, autopsy rate), be sure to express your answer as a percentage.
B1: Locate the formula for the average length of stay. Use the statistics for
each month to create the formula. Here is the correct formula for May to get
