Dear All,

Data was collected on paediatric admissions for 4 years:

Year:          1999    2000     2001   2002    2003             AVERAGE

Admissions:  2601   2670    2954     3197   4201              3124.6



Out of these admissions; there were the following HDU admmission

HDU Admission:   69     52      51    57     62



The HDU had two beds and in each year, and on each day; one bed was occupied
while the other was empty. Obvioulsy, with an average of  3124.6 admission;
the two beds suffice for HDU admissions out of the total admissions.


Is there any statistical test one would do to show that with an average of
3000 admissions, two beds are enough?.

Cathy
