Assignment:
Is the Nurse a Serial Killer? Table provided with the Chapter Problem consists of a contingency table with a row variable (whether Kristen Gilbert was on duty) and a column variable (whether the shift included a death). Test the claim that whether Gilbert was on duty for a shift is independent of whether a patient died during the shift. Because this is such a serious analysis, use a significance level of 0.01. What does the result suggest about the charge that Gilbert killed patients?
