Answer:

The daily inpatient census for adults and children in the month of May is 193 patients. The total census for only babies is 16.  

Explanation:

I found this by, for the first part of the question, adding together the total adult patients for the month, and the total infant patients for the month, and then dividing them by the 31 days of May to calculate how many patients were in the hospital per day. For the babies, I did the same thing, except I didn't add the adults and the babies together, just divided the total babies by 31 to get the average daily amount.
