Annual Sports Event Athlete Data Analysis

This question requires us to extract specific data points from the provided table showing the distribution of male (M) and female (F) athletes from five different countries (A-E) participating in an Annual Sports Event between 2016 and 2021. We need to find the number of female athletes from Country E in 2020 and compare it as a percentage of the total number of athletes (male and female combined) from Country B in 2019.

Extracting Required Athlete Data from the Table

First, let's identify the values needed from the table:

1. The number of female athletes from Country E in the year 2020.
2. The total number of athletes (male + female) from Country B in the year 2019.

Looking at the row for the year 2020 and the columns for Country E (F), we find:

• Female athletes from Country E in 2020 = 460

Next, looking at the row for the year 2019 and the columns for Country B (M and F), we find:

• Male athletes from Country B in 2019 = 570
• Female athletes from Country B in 2019 = 420

To find the total number of athletes from Country B in 2019, we sum the male and female athletes:

Total athletes from Country B in 2019 = Male athletes + Female athletes

Total athletes from Country B in 2019 = \(570 + 420 = 990\)

Calculating the Percentage

Now we need to find what percentage the female athletes from Country E in 2020 (460) represent of the total athletes from Country B in 2019 (990).

The formula to calculate a percentage is:

Percentage = \(\left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100\)

In this case:

• Part = Number of female athletes from Country E in 2020 = 460
• Whole = Total number of athletes from Country B in 2019 = 990

Let's plug the values into the formula:

Percentage = \(\left( \frac{460}{990} \right) \times 100\)

Now, perform the calculation:

\(\frac{460}{990} \approx 0.4646\)

Percentage \(\approx 0.4646 \times 100 \approx 46.46\%\)

When compared to the given options, the value 46.46% is closest to 46%.

Conclusion

Based on the calculations, the number of female athletes who participated from Country E in the year 2020 was approximately 46% of the total number of athletes who participated from Country B in the year 2019.

Additional Information: Understanding Percentages

A percentage is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. It is denoted by the symbol '%'. Calculating a percentage helps in comparing quantities relative to a whole.

The general formula for percentage is:

Percentage = \(\frac{\text{Given Value}}{\text{Reference Value}} \times 100\)

In this problem, the "Given Value" is the number of female athletes from Country E in 2020 (460), and the "Reference Value" (or the whole) is the total number of athletes from Country B in 2019 (990). The result tells us what proportion of the Country B 2019 total is represented by the Country E 2020 female athletes, expressed out of 100.
