Answer:
Option OD - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : On the cardiac ward of a local hospital, there are 7 nursing assistants. The seven assistants have 7, 8, 5, 9, 10, 10, and 14 patients, respectively, that they assist.
To find : What is the average number of patients per nursing assistant?
Solution :
The average number of patients per nursing assistant is given by the division of sum of number of patients by total number of nursing.
So, [tex]\text{Average} =\frac{\text{Sum of patients}}{\text{Number of assistants}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Average} =\frac{7+8+5+9+10+10+14}{7}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Average} =\frac{63}{7}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Average} =9[/tex]
Therefore, The average number of patients per nursing assistant is 9.
So, Option OD is correct.
