Nursing Magazine reported results of a survey of more than 1800 nurses across the country concerning job satisfaction and retention. Nurses from magnet hospitals (hospitals that successfully attract and retain nurses) describe the staffing situation in their units, in the first table. A survey of 490 nurses from non-magnet hospitals gave the responses to the staffing situation in the second table. Do the data indicate that the nurses from the nonmagnet hospitals have a different distribution of opinions? Use α = .05.
