What is the conclusion of the following argument? Forty-five patients were admitted to Mercy Hospital for pneumonia in December. They were all given standard treatment for pneumonia. After five days, thirty of them were well enough to go home. The other fifteen, however, somehow acquired other infections and were not well enough to be released for fourteen days. The only relevant factor common to these fifteen is that they all stayed in the same ward (different from the ward that the other group stayed in). Seems like the prolonged illness was due to staying in that particular ward.
