The Trinity Hospital Quality Improvement (QI) team wants to monitor the C section deliveries of pregnant mothers admitted to the hospital€™s obstetrics unit. The team decided to construct a p chart using 2σ control limits and collected the following data for the past 24 weeks:

1. Why did the QI team decide to use a p-chart?

2. Construct a p-chart using the data given in the table.

3. Determine whether the process is in control, as the hospital is worried that too many C-sections are being performed to the detriment of patients?
