Explanation / Answer

a) In the first six months of non-leap year, we have 31+28+31+30+31+30 = 181 days. Now, in the first six months the number of patients who arrived at the hospital is 30875, and hence the average daily number of patients is approximately 171.

b) The total number of patients during the entire year is 30875+36982 = 67857 and dividing it by 365 gives the average number of patients as 186.

c) The average daily born is 12345/365 = 34.

d) For July, the number of surgeries is 1705/31 = 55.

e) Since the number of beds is 55, the hospital has provided enough number of beds.
