Question 1: How many patients were admitted on Day 5?
On Day 5:
- Male = 8
- Female = 7
Total = 8 + 7 =
15
✔ Answer: 15
---
Question 2: How many more male than female patients were admitted on day 5 and 6?
First, add males from Day 5 and Day 6:
- Day 5 Male = 8
- Day 6 Male = 15
→ Total Males = 8 + 15 =
23
Now, add females from Day 5 and Day 6:
- Day 5 Female = 7
- Day 6 Female = 8
→ Total Females = 7 + 8 =
15
Difference = 23 - 15 =
8
✔ Answer: 8

Question 3: On which day did the hospital admit the greatest number of patients?
Let’s calculate total patients per day:
- Day 1: 7 + 5 = 12
- Day 2: 6 + 8 = 14
- Day 3: 9 + 5 = 14
- Day 4: 11 + 14 = 25 ← highest so far
- Day 5: 8 + 7 = 15
- Day 6: 15 + 8 = 23
Day 4 has 25 — that’s the most.
✔ Answer: Day 4

Question 4: What is the difference between the number of patients on day 2 and 4?
Day 2 total = 6 + 8 = 14
Day 4 total = 11 + 14 = 25
Difference = 25 - 14 =
11
✔ Answer: 11
---
Question 5: Which days did the hospital admit an equal number of patients?
Check totals again:
- Day 1: 12
- Day 2: 14
- Day 3: 14 ← same as Day 2
- Day 4: 25
- Day 5: 15
- Day 6: 23
Only Day 2 and Day 3 both have 14 patients.
✔ Answer: Day 2 and Day 3
---
Question 6: How many days did the hospital have more female than male patients?
Compare Male vs Female for each day:
- Day 1: 7M > 5F → No
- Day 2: 6M < 8F → Yes
✔
- Day 3: 9M > 5F → No
- Day 4: 11M < 14F → Yes
✔
- Day 5: 8M > 7F → No
- Day 6: 15M > 8F → No
Only Day 2 and Day 4 had more females.
