You are a nurse at a community health clinic, and your clinic sees, on average, about 25 patients per day. On any given day, the number of patients needing stitches is distributed as follows: 0 patients 10% of the time, 1 patient 10% of the time, 2 patients 20% of the time, 3 patients 20% of the time, 4 patients 20% of the time, 5 patients 10% of the time, and 6 patients 10% of the time. Each of these patients will need a special ”laceration” package used for sterilizing and stitching a wound.(A) Make a box model for the distribution of how many laceration packs you will need each day. What are the mean and SD of the box?(B) In a month’s time (30 days), how many ”laceration” packages do you expect you’ll need? What about in two months (60 days)? Four months (120 days)? (Your answer should be of the form EV, ”give or take” SE.)
