To determine the number of patients visiting the walk-in clinic as illustrated in the frequency table, we analyze each row as follows:
1. Colds and Flu:
- Frequency pattern: `H+HHHII`
- Number of Patients: 6
- Explanation: The pattern contains six occurrences of 'H' or 'I', representing individual patients.
2. Cuts and Scrapes:
- Frequency pattern: `H#HH#IIIIII`
- Number of Patients: 9
- Explanation: The pattern contains nine occurrences of 'H' or 'I'.
3. Sprained Muscles:
- Frequency pattern: `HH LH+IIII`
- Number of Patients: 7
- Explanation: The pattern contains seven occurrences of 'H' or 'I'.
4. Tetanus Shots:
- Frequency pattern: `H+11II`
- Number of Patients: 3
- Explanation: The pattern contains three occurrences of 'H' or 'I'.
5. Severe Headaches:
- Frequency pattern: `HH HH | III`
- Number of Patients: 7
- Explanation: The pattern contains seven occurrences of 'H' or 'I'.
The total number of patients:
- Adding up all these patients, we get:
- [tex]\( \text{Colds and Flu} (6) + \text{Cuts and Scrapes} (9) + \text{Sprained Muscles} (7) + \text{Tetanus Shots} (3) + \text{Severe Headaches} (7) = 32 \)[/tex]
Question 28:
To find the percentage of patients who visited the clinic because of sprained muscles:
- Number of patients with sprained muscles: 7
- Total number of patients: 32
- Percentage calculation: [tex]\( \frac{\text{Number of patients with sprained muscles}}{\text{Total number of patients}} \times 100 = \frac{7}{32} \times 100 = 21.875\% \)[/tex]
Therefore, the percentage of patients represented in the table who visited the walk-in clinic because of sprained muscles is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{21.875\%} \][/tex]
Question 29:
To find the ratio of the number of patients with colds or flu to the number of patients with severe headaches:
- Number of patients with colds or flu: 6
- Number of patients with severe headaches: 7
- Ratio: [tex]\( \frac{\text{Number of patients with colds or flu}}{\text{Number of patients with severe headaches}} = \frac{6}{7} \approx 0.857 \)[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of the number of patients with colds or flu to the number of patients with severe headaches, simplified to the nearest two decimal places or as a whole number ratio:
[tex]\[ \boxed{0.857} \ or \ 6:7 \][/tex]
The detailed calculations conclude that the answers to the questions based on the given frequency table and corresponding patient data are:
- Percentage of patients with sprained muscles: 21.875%
- Ratio of patients with colds or flu to severe headaches: 6:7 or approximately 0.857
