Answer 1

Hello

Lets first organise your data

Average Length of stay(ALOS) = Discharge Days / Total discharges including deaths

(a) Average length of stay for Adults and Children :

We should exclude newborns.

Hence, ALOS =

(b) ALOS of medical patients in February:

Discharge Days = 1516 days

Number of discharges including deaths = 309

Hence, ALOS =

(c) ALOS of newborns in February:

Discharge Days = 165 days

Number of discharges including deaths = 66

Hence, ALOS =

I hope this gets you through.
