In a study of factors thought to be related to patterns of admission to a large hospital, an administrator obtained these data on 10 communities in the catchment area of the hospital.
Obtain the regression equation.
H o = R squared = 0
Does the Index of Availability of other health services predict the number of persons admitted?
Does the Index of Indigency predict the number of persons admitted?
Do the Index of Availability and the Index of Indigency taken together predict the number of persons admitted?
