Hypothesis
H0: μ(old)- μ(new) ≤0
Ha: μ(old)- μ(new)>0

Ans 1: With 5% chance of being wrong we have sufficient evidence that new system has reduced nurses'
time spend on administrative work enabling the nurses to spend more time providing care to patients.
Hence, we reject null.

Ans 2: Z- critical value is 1.64 which is not equal to 1.96 and p-value is less than 0.05 i-e 0.007therefore,
we can say that the new system has reduced nurses’ time spend on administrative tasks.

Ans 3: Since, we have objectively demonstrated our belief that the new system is better than the old
one hence it would be a powerful tool when marketing their new system to other hospitals and DKH
must recommend it to the other hospitals.
