Understanding Village Population Data

The question provides a table containing the total population for five villages (A, B, C, D, E) and the percentage distribution of males (M), females (F), and transgenders (T) within each village. Some percentage values are missing and need to be calculated based on the fact that the percentages for M, F, and T in any given village must sum up to 100%.

Our task is to find the difference between the male population in Village E and the female population in Village D. To do this, we first need to calculate the required population counts for Village E and Village D.

Calculating Missing Percentages in Villages

For any village, the sum of the percentage distribution of males, females, and transgenders is 100%. We can use this to find the missing values:

• For Village D: Percentage M (36%) + Percentage F (?) + Percentage T (20%) = 100%
• For Village E: Percentage M (?) + Percentage F (30%) + Percentage T (25%) = 100%

Calculate Percentage of Females in Village D

In Village D, the percentages for males and transgenders are given as 36% and 20% respectively.

Percentage F in Village D = $100\% - (\text{Percentage M in D} + \text{Percentage T in D})$

Percentage F in Village D = $100\% - (36\% + 20\%)$

Percentage F in Village D = $100\% - 56\%$

Percentage F in Village D = $44\%$

Calculate Percentage of Males in Village E

In Village E, the percentages for females and transgenders are given as 30% and 25% respectively.

Percentage M in Village E = $100\% - (\text{Percentage F in E} + \text{Percentage T in E})$

Percentage M in Village E = $100\% - (30\% + 25\%)$

Percentage M in Village E = $100\% - 55\%$

Percentage M in Village E = $45\%$

Calculating Population Counts

Now that we have the required percentages and the total populations, we can calculate the number of males in Village E and females in Village D.

Calculate Male Population in Village E

Total population in Village E is 25,000. The percentage of males in Village E is 45%.

Male population in Village E = Total Population in E $\times$ $\frac{\text{Percentage M in E}}{100}$

Male population in Village E = $25,000 \times \frac{45}{100}$

Male population in Village E = $250 \times 45$

Male population in Village E = $11,250$

Calculate Female Population in Village D

Total population in Village D is 24,000. The percentage of females in Village D is 44%.

Female population in Village D = Total Population in D $\times$ $\frac{\text{Percentage F in D}}{100}$

Female population in Village D = $24,000 \times \frac{44}{100}$

Female population in Village D = $240 \times 44$

Female population in Village D = $10,560$

Finding the Difference

The question asks for the difference between the male population in Village E and the female population in Village D.

Difference = Male population in Village E - Female population in Village D

Difference = $11,250 - 10,560$

Difference = $690$

Final Answer Summary

We calculated the percentage of females in Village D as 44% and the percentage of males in Village E as 45%. Using these percentages and the total populations, we found that the male population in Village E is 11,250 and the female population in Village D is 10,560. The difference between these two numbers is 690.

The final answer is 690.

Additional Information on Population Distribution Calculations

Data interpretation questions often involve calculating values based on percentages from tables or charts. When dealing with population distribution by categories like gender, the percentages for all categories within a group (like a village) must always add up to 100%. This principle is key to finding any missing percentage values.

Once percentages are known, the actual number of individuals in a category is calculated by multiplying the total population by the percentage for that category and dividing by 100. For example, to find the male population in a village:

Male Population = Total Village Population $\times$ $\frac{\text{Percentage of Males}}{100}$

Similarly, for female and transgender populations.

These types of questions test your ability to read data from a table, perform basic percentage calculations, and then use those calculated values to find differences or sums as required by the question.
