Routinization is an organized system of procedures and patterns over an extended period of time that people closely follow. In the case of a hospital, the jobs of nurses are part of routinization. It is important to routinize tasks in a hospital because the unexpected or upsetting events that arise need to become “ordinary and mundane” to a nurse. Nurses need to learn how to mentally and emotionally control themselves when faced with instances such as deformed newborns and witnessing leg amputations. They cannot be upset or panicked because this would negatively affect the patients. Thus for these reasons, nurses need to learn how to tackle these traumatic cases casually through routinization.

--- title: "QTM Project" output: html_document --- ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE) ``` For this QTM project, **I am interested in whether the amount of fries in a large order versus a small order justifies the higher cost**, and I will conduct a **two sample t test** with the data I have gathered. By doing this experiment, I want to figure out which size fries is a better deal so that the next time I know which size I should order with my 20 piece chicken nuggets. Assumptions for the two sample t test: * **Randomization**: For this experiment, I used three different McDonald’s locations (Duluth, Suwanee, Decatur) on three different days to randomize my sample. At each location, my friends/family and I ordered 5 small and 5 large Fries to get a total sample of 15 small fries and 15 large fries. * **Indepedence**: The sample values are independent of each other.
