In a doctor’s office, an average of 94% of the clients pay on the day of the appointment. If the office has 600 clients per month, how many are expected not to pay on the day of the

appointment? If 40 clients do not pay on the day of their appointment
in a month, did more or fewer than the average not pay?

600(1-.94)= .06(600) = 36

To find the number of clients expected not to pay on the day of the appointment, we can first calculate the average number of clients who do pay on time:

Average number of clients who pay on time = 94% of 600 clients
= (94/100) * 600
= 564 clients

Therefore, the expected number of clients who do not pay on the day of the appointment can be found by subtracting the average number of clients who do pay on time from the total number of clients in the month:

Expected number of clients not paying on time = Total clients - Clients paying on time
= 600 clients - 564 clients
= 36 clients

So, it is expected that 36 clients will not pay on the day of their appointment.

Now, to determine whether this is more or fewer than the average, we compare the expected number of 36 clients to the given number of 40 clients who did not pay on time in a month. Since 40 is greater than 36, it means that more clients than expected did not pay on the day of their appointment.
