Which city reported highest number of positive cases? 

The correct answer is City 1

Analyzing Hospital Data for Highest Positive Cases

The question asks us to find which city reported the highest number of positive cases based on the provided table. The table shows the number of positive cases found in different hospitals for each city.

Understanding the Data Table

The table provides the following information:

  • The hospitals involved: HospitalA, HospitalB, HospitalC, and HospitalD. The numbers in brackets next to the hospital names (e.g., (100) for HospitalA) represent the total tests conducted in that hospital, but this information is not needed to find the city with the highest number of positive cases.
  • The cities: City 1, City 2, City 3, and City 4.
  • The number of positive cases reported by each hospital for each city.

Let's represent the data in a structured table for clarity:

City \ Hospital HospitalA (100) HospitalB (50) HospitalC (100) HospitalD (50)
City 1 30 15 35 10
City 2 35 10 30 10
City 3 15 5 15 5
City 4 10 5 5 15

Calculating Total Positive Cases per City

To find the city with the highest number of positive cases, we need to sum the positive cases reported by all hospitals for each city.

Total Cases for City 1:

We add the positive cases from HospitalA, HospitalB, HospitalC, and HospitalD for City 1.

\text{Total Cases (City 1)} = 30 + 15 + 35 + 10

\text{Total Cases (City 1)} = 90

Total Cases for City 2:

We add the positive cases from HospitalA, HospitalB, HospitalC, and HospitalD for City 2.

\text{Total Cases (City 2)} = 35 + 10 + 30 + 10

\text{Total Cases (City 2)} = 85

Total Cases for City 3:

We add the positive cases from HospitalA, HospitalB, HospitalC, and HospitalD for City 3.

\text{Total Cases (City 3)} = 15 + 5 + 15 + 5

\text{Total Cases (City 3)} = 40

Total Cases for City 4:

We add the positive cases from HospitalA, HospitalB, HospitalC, and HospitalD for City 4.

\text{Total Cases (City 4)} = 10 + 5 + 5 + 15

\text{Total Cases (City 4)} = 35

Comparing Total Positive Cases

Now, let's compare the total positive cases calculated for each city:

  • City 1: 90
  • City 2: 85
  • City 3: 40
  • City 4: 35

Comparing these totals, we can see that City 1 reported the highest number of positive cases, which is 90.

Conclusion

Based on the calculations, City 1 reported the highest number of positive cases among the four cities.

City Total Positive Cases
City 1 90
City 2 85
City 3 40
City 4 35

Additional Information on Data Interpretation

Interpreting data from tables like this involves understanding what each row and column represents. In this case, rows represent cities and columns represent hospitals, with the cell values showing the number of positive cases. To find a total across different categories (like total cases for a city across all hospitals), summation is required. If the question asked about the hospital with the most cases, we would sum down the columns. If it asked about the city with the highest positivity rate, we would need the total tests per city (which is not directly given, only total tests per hospital) or calculate positivity rate per hospital per city if possible with more data, and then potentially aggregate.
