Question 1

During 2002 the number of beds required per day at St Hallam's hospital was normally distributed with a mean of 1800 and a standard deviation of 190.  During the first 50 days of 2003 the average daily requirement for beds was 1830.  A senior hospital manager claims that this gives evidence that the requirements for beds has changed since 2001.  Do you agree?
