Go through the information given below, and answer the questions that follow. The table captures Age and Gender distribution of COVID positive cases in a country. However, a part of data is missing, represented through unknown categories. In which age category, the percentage of female COVID patients is the HIGHEST?
We can fill the blanks of table by using the data in the table as below: Percentage of female COVID patients in the age category 61 to 70 = \(\frac{3756}{7300}\) x 100 = 51.45% Percentage of female COVID patients in the age category 31 to 40 = \(\frac{12693}{24110}\) x100 = 52.64% Percentage of female COVID patients in the age category 41 to 50 = \(\frac{7264}{14120}\) x 100 = 51.44% Percentage of female COVID patients in the age category 51 to 60 = \(\frac{5567}{11174}\) x 100 = 49.82% Percentage of female COVID patients in the age category 81+ = \(\frac{1276}{1996}\) x 100 = 63.92% Thus, the percentage of female COVID patients is the highest in the age category 81+. Hence, option E is the correct answer.
