A study of 31,000 hospital admissions in New York State found that 4% of the admissions led to treatment-caused injuries.

What is the probability a person admitted to the hospital will suffer a treatment-caused injury due to negligence? b.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) probability a person admitted to the hospital will suffer a treatment-caused injury due to negligence

    P (injury) = 4%

    P (negligence) = 1/4 = 0.25

    We need to find probability (injury) (negligence)

    P (injury) * P (negligence) = 0.04*0.25 = 0.01

    b) probability a person admitted to the hospital will die from a treatment-caused injury

    P (injury) = 4%

    P (death) = 1/7

    P (Injury) * P (death) = 0.04/7 = 0.00571

    c) In the case of a negligent treatment-caused injury, what is the probability a malpractice claim will be paid

    P (claim) = 1/7.5

    P (payment) = 1/2

    P (claim) * P (payment) = 1/7.5 * 1/2 = 0.06
