IOC: Investor-owned (for-profit) community hospitals
SLC: State and local government community hospitals
FGH: Federal government hospitals
NFP: Nonfederal psychiatric hospitals
NLT: Nonfederal long-term-care hospitals
HUI: Hospital units of institutions

If an exercise discusses more than one data set, do parts (a)–(d) for each data set.
