(work)
Medical service mean (days in hosp 5,10,30,11,17,9,3,11,4)= 100 divided by sample size of 9 = 11.11


Surgical service mean (days in hosp 6,11,5,14,3,3,8,8,5,5,7,4,7,9,11,9)=115 divided by sample of 16=7.19



Standard deviation= square root of variance
Variance of 5,10,30,11,17,9,3,11,4 (Medical service days in hosp)= 68.86
Square root of 68.86=8.29

Variance of 6,11,5,14,3,3,8,8,5,5,7,4,7,9,11,9)(surgical service days in hosp)=9.629
Square root of 9.629=3.10
