A large number of preventable errors (e.g., overdoses, botched operations, misdiagnoses) are being made by doctors and nurses in U.S. hospitals (New York Times, July 18,1995).A study of a major metropolitan hospital revealed that of every 100 medications prescribed or dispensed, one was in error; but, only one in 500 resulted in an error that caused significant problems for the patient. It is known that the hospital prescribes and dispenses 60,000 medications per year
a. What is the expected number of errors per year at this hospital? The expected number of significant errors per year?
b. Within what limits would you expect the number of significant errors per year to fall?
c. What assumptions did you need to make in order to answer these questions?
