Analyze the provided graph showing patient data and answer the following questions about the number of males, females, and total patients per quarter.

Here are the answers to the questions based on the provided graph.

Graph Analysis:

• Quarter 1 (First): Males = 30, Females = 80 - 30 = 50, Total = 80
• Quarter 2 (Second): Males = 30, Females = 90 - 30 = 60, Total = 90
• Quarter 3 (Third): Males = 40, Females = 90 - 40 = 50, Total = 90
• Quarter 4 (Fourth): Males = 20, Females = 40 - 20 = 20, Total = 40

(i) Which quarter recorded the least number of MALES?
The number of males in each quarter is:

• First Quarter: 30
• Second Quarter: 30
• Third Quarter: 40
• Fourth Quarter: 20 The least number of males was recorded in the Fourth Quarter.

(ii) Which Quarter recorded the most number of patients?
The total number of patients in each quarter is:

• First Quarter: 80
• Second Quarter: 90
• Third Quarter: 90
• Fourth Quarter: 40 The most number of patients was recorded in the Second and Third Quarters.

(iii) How many FEMALES reported at the OPD in the First and Third quarters all together?
Number of females in First Quarter = 50
Number of females in Third Quarter = 50
Total females = $50 + 50 = 100$
A total of 100 females reported at the OPD in the First and Third quarters.

(iv) Find the Mean number of patients who reported at the OPD for the year 2018
Total number of patients for the year:

$$\text{Total Patients} = 80 (\text{Q1}) + 90 (\text{Q2}) + 90 (\text{Q3}) + 40 (\text{Q4}) = 300$$

Number of quarters = 4
Mean number of patients:

$$\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Patients}}{\text{Number of Quarters}} = \frac{300}{4} = 75$$

The mean number of patients is 75.

(v) Express the number of MALES as a percentage of FEMALES
Total number of males for the year:

$$\text{Total Males} = 30 (\text{Q1}) + 30 (\text{Q2}) + 40 (\text{Q3}) + 20 (\text{Q4}) = 120$$

Total number of females for the year:

$$\text{Total Females} = 50 (\text{Q1}) + 60 (\text{Q2}) + 50 (\text{Q3}) + 20 (\text{Q4}) = 180$$

Percentage of males relative to females:

$$\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Total Males}}{\text{Total Females}} \times 100\% = \frac{120}{180} \times 100\% = \frac{2}{3} \times 100\% \approx 66.67\%$$

The number of males is approximately 66.67% of the number of females.

(vi) Comment on the general trend of patients at the Clinic for the year.
The total number of patients increased from the First Quarter (80) to the Second Quarter (90), remained stable in the Third Quarter (90), and then significantly decreased in the Fourth Quarter (40).
