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?
- 61-70
- 31-40
- 41-50
- 51-60
- 81+
The Correct Option is
Solution and Explanation
| Age Category | Male (%) | Female (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 61-70 | 40 | 60 |
| 31-40 | 57 | 43 |
| 41-50 | 55 | 45 |
| 51-60 | 49 | 51 |
| 81+ | 45 | 55 |
- 61-70: 60%
- 31-40: 43%
- 41-50: 45%
- 51-60: 51%
- 81+: 55%
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.
