This solution explains how to find the average number of Covid-19 patients who recovered in Madhya Pradesh over a specific period, using the data provided in the table.

Understanding the Data

The table shows the number of patients recovering from Covid-19 across four states (Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab) for four months (February, March, April, May) in 2021. We need to focus specifically on the data for Madhya Pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh Recovery Data

Here are the recovery numbers for Madhya Pradesh for the specified months:

• February 2021: 270 patients
• March 2021: 120 patients
• April 2021: 190 patients
• May 2021: 220 patients

Calculating the Average Recovery Rate

To find the average number of patients who recovered, we need to sum the recoveries for Madhya Pradesh across all four months and then divide by the number of months.

The formula for the average is:

$$ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of Recoveries}}{\text{Number of Months}} $$

Step 1: Sum the Recoveries

Add the number of recovered patients for Madhya Pradesh in each month:

$$ \text{Sum} = 270 + 120 + 190 + 220 $$

$$ \text{Sum} = 800 $$

Step 2: Divide by the Number of Months

There are 4 months in total (February, March, April, May).

$$ \text{Average} = \frac{800}{4} $$

$$ \text{Average} = 200 $$

Conclusion on Average Recoveries
