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 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 percent to show that Hospital \(\mathrm{A}\) has a higher survival rate for both groups of parents.
  2. Combine the data into a single two-way table of outcome ("survived" or "died") by hospital \((A\) or \(B)\). The local paper reports just these overall survival razes. Which hospital has the higher rate?
