  1. A table shows that Hospital A had 2,400 admissions in Q1 and Hospital B had 1,800. What percentage more admissions did Hospital A have compared to Hospital B?

    Answer: 33%

    (2400 − 1800) / 1800 × 100 = 600 / 1800 × 100 ≈ 33%.

  2. A graph shows surgery waiting times (weeks): Jan = 6, Feb = 8, Mar = 7, Apr = 5. What is the mean waiting time over the 4 months?

    Answer: 6.5 weeks

    (6 + 8 + 7 + 5) / 4 = 26 / 4 = 6.5 weeks.

  3. A chart shows that 360 out of 1,200 outpatient appointments were missed. What is the did-not-attend (DNA) rate?

    Answer: 30%

    360 / 1,200 × 100 = 30% DNA rate.

  4. Emergency admissions data: Monday 45, Tuesday 60, Wednesday 50, Thursday 55, Friday 70. What is the median number of admissions?

    Answer: 55

    Ordered: 45, 50, 55, 60, 70 — the middle value (median) is 55.

  5. A pie chart shows hospital budget allocation: salaries 55%, equipment 20%, maintenance 15%, other 10%. If the total budget is $2,000,000, how much is spent on maintenance?

    Answer: $300,000

    15% of $2,000,000 = 0.15 × 2,000,000 = $300,000 for maintenance.

  6. A bar chart shows infection rates per 1,000 bed days: Ward A = 2.5, Ward B = 3.0, Ward C = 1.5, Ward D = 4.0. Which ward has the rate closest to the overall average?

    Answer: Ward B

    Average = (2.5 + 3.0 + 1.5 + 4.0) / 4 = 11 / 4 = 2.75; Ward B's rate of 3.0 is closest to 2.75.
