Question: Which hospital is safer? To help consumers make informed decisions about health care, the government releases data about patient outcomes in hospitals. You want to compare Hospital \(\mathrm{A}\) and Hospital B, which serve your community. Here are data on all patients undergoing surgery in a recent time period. The data include the condition of the patient ("good" or "poor") before the surgery. "Survived" means that the patient lived at least 6 weeks following surgery.

1. Compare percents to show that Hospital A has a higher survival rate for both groups of patients.
2. Combine the data into a single two-way table of outcome "survived" or "died") by hospital ( \(\mathrm{A}\) or \(\mathrm{B}\) ). The local paper reports just these overall survival rates. Which hospital has the higher rate?
3. Explain from the data, in language that a reporter can understand, how Hospital B can do better overall even though Hospital A does better for both groups of patients.
