ALOS = 104.2 days.

Median LOS = 107 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

ALOS = Average length of stay = (Total length of stay)/(number of patients)

Median = variable in middle when the variables are arranged in ascending or descending order.

a) ALOS

Total length of stay = 179+171+142+140+124+118+113+107+104+88+73+56+54+53+41 = 1563

Number of patients = 15

ALOS = (1563/15) = 104.2

b) Median LOS

As the LOS are, they are arranged in descending form, the LOS in the middle (that is, at the 8th position) is that of the patient admitted on March 12, 20XX; 107 days.

Hope this Helps!!!

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard
