  1. A hospital treats 240 patients per week. If 35% are emergency cases, how many are non-emergency patients treated per week?

    Answer: 156

    65% are non-emergency (100% − 35%), and 240 × 0.65 = 156 patients.

  2. A clinical study reports a mean recovery time of 8 days with a standard deviation of 2 days. What is the coefficient of variation (CV)?

    Answer: 25%

    CV = (standard deviation ÷ mean) × 100 = (2 ÷ 8) × 100 = 25%.

  3. A pie chart shows hospital bed distribution: Surgery 30%, Cardiology 25%, Oncology 20%, Pediatrics 15%, Other 10%. If the hospital has 400 beds, how many are in Cardiology?

    Answer: 100

    25% of 400 beds = 400 × 0.25 = 100 beds in Cardiology.

  4. A patient's white blood cell count (×10³/μL) over 4 weeks: Week 1: 4.5, Week 2: 6.2, Week 3: 5.8, Week 4: 7.5. What is the mean count over this period?

    Answer: 6.0

    Mean = (4.5 + 6.2 + 5.8 + 7.5) ÷ 4 = 24.0 ÷ 4 = 6.0 ×10³/μL.

  5. A medication causes a side effect in 3 out of every 25 patients. In a group of 300 patients, how many would be expected to experience this side effect?

    Answer: 36

    (3 ÷ 25) × 300 = 0.12 × 300 = 36 patients expected to experience the side effect.

  6. Hospital admissions increased from 800 per month to 1,100 per month over one year. What is the percentage increase in admissions?

    Answer: 37.5%

    Percentage increase = (1100 − 800) ÷ 800 × 100 = 300 ÷ 800 × 100 = 37.5%.

  7. A medication dosage is 0.05 mg per kg of body weight. What is the correct dose for a patient weighing 72 kg?

    Answer: 3.6 mg

    Dose = 0.05 × 72 = 3.6 mg for a 72 kg patient.
