Answer:

No. See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

No makes sense.

For this case the codification used is just a notation to identify the hospital. No matter if the code is a numerical value not makes sense calculate the average for these numbers since that not represent any statistic useful for the study.

And the other reason why is not appropiate calculate the mean of these numbers is that if we calculate the mean we don't have a maning for this number since we can't say the mean for the codes is (a number) since that's irrrelevant for the study.

What’s the ratio for 40 and 64
NARA [144]

Answer:

5/8, 5:8, or 5 to 8

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to simplify the ratio so you have to figure out what 40 and 64 have in common. tho right away you can assume that they both have 2 in common bcz they are both even so you can divide them both by two and get 20/32, and then you can do it again bcz they are both even again and get 10/16, and then you can do it again bcz they are also both even and get 5/8. now 5 is a prime number so you cant divide it any further so you stop it there. and i put three answers bcz there are three ways to write a ratio

A media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported such as 0.08 degr
Natalija [7]

Answer

:we are told that every year the temperature rises by 0.08degrees Centigrade,

So the difference between margin of error and the increase is much higher

That is

0.15-0.08=0.07

But remember Margin of error=Critical value *Standard deviation of population

And it is a quantity that measures accuracy

So the counter argument is that this is still an increase and it should be considered.
