Question

A local hospital tracked the blood type and gender of the patients they saw on an average day. Which is a fair statement?

Answer 1

Tracked the blood type.

Answer 2

Calculate the relative frequencies for males, females and blood types. From this you can see that a fair statement is: The hospital sees over 10% more males than females on an average day.
