Exercise #2:

Use the dataset from week1 exercise to answer the following questions:

Compare the following information between teaching and non-teaching hospitals.

• What are the main significant differences between teaching and non-teaching hospitals? (use t-test)
• Comparing hospital net-benefit which hospitals has better performance? (To answer this question, first compute the hospital net benefits by subtracting hospital costs from revenues, then use t-test to compare the significant differences between teaching and non-teaching hospitals).
• Use a box-plot and compare hospitals-cost and hospital-revenues between teaching and non-teaching hospitals.
• Write a short paragraph and describe your findings.

Table 2. Descriptive statistics between teaching and non-teaching hospitals, 2011 & 2012

Hospital Characteristics	Teaching			Non-Teaching			p-value
	N	Mean	St. Dev	N	Mean	St. Dev
1. Hospital Beds
2. Number of paid Employees
3. Number of non-paid Employees
4. Internes and Residents
5. System Membership
6. Total hospital cost ($)
7. Total hospital revenues ($)
8. Hospital net benefit ($)
9. Available Medicare Days
10. Available Medicaid Days
11. Total Hospital Discharges
12. Medicare Discharges
13. Medicaid Discharges

Round figures for Mean and Standard Deviation to nearest whole number. Round p values to 2 decimal places max.
