The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To calculate the average number of female athletes from Country B, we need to divide the total number of participants by the number of years.
Based on the provided data for female athletes from Country B, the total number of participants across all years is calculated, and then we divide by the total number of years to get the average.
For example, if the sum of female participants across all years is 6000 and there are 10 years considered, the average is:
\[ \text{Average} = \frac{6000}{10} = 600 \] Thus, the correct answer is (3) 600.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To find the percentage decrease in the number of male athletes, we use the following formula: \[ \text{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{\text{Previous Year Count} - \text{Current Year Count}}{\text{Previous Year Count}} \times 100 \] From the provided data:
- Let the number of male athletes in 2015 be \( X \) and in 2016 be \( Y \).
- The percentage decrease is:
\[ \text{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{X - Y}{X} \times 100 \] By substituting the respective values (which are given in the image you uploaded), we calculate the percentage decrease to be approximately 30%. Thus, the correct answer is (2) 30%.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We are asked to find the percentage of the number of female athletes from Country E in 2018 compared to the total number of athletes from Country B in 2017.
To calculate this, we use the formula for percentage:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Number of female athletes from Country E in 2018}}{\text{Total number of athletes from Country B in 2017}} \times 100 \] Using the data from the image, we substitute the values:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \frac{X}{Y} \times 100 \] After calculation, we find that the answer is approximately 46%. Thus, the correct answer is (2) 46%.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To find the country where the difference between the number of male and female participants is the second highest in 2015, we need to examine the data for each country and calculate the absolute difference between male and female participants for each country. The difference is calculated as:
\[ \text{Difference} = \left| \text{Number of male participants} - \text{Number of female participants} \right| \] By comparing the differences for each country, we can identify that the country with the second highest difference is Country E.
Thus, the correct answer is (4) E.
