Solution and Explanation

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
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+.
