Almost A Problem

Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis is starting to think that he might have a problem on his hands. This mpox thing does not seem to be going away. In fact, it seems to be spreading. The governor is uncertain as to just exactly what he needs to be doing. He has turned to the USF School of Medicine to get some advice. They, of course, have turned to you to process the monkey pox data that has been collected so that they can provide the governor with some recommendations.

You have been provided with a data file that contains information on the Florida residents who have tested positive for the mpox virus. This data file has the following format:

Gender, Age, Weight, Height, Headache?, Fever?, Exhaustion?, Swollen Lymph Nodes?, Muscle Aches?, Backache?, Chills?, Rash?, Genital Rash?

Note that in the data file, each of the mpox symptoms is represented by either a 0 (False), or a 1 (True).

You are to read in the data from the file, place it into a list, and then answer five questions that the governor needs answers to.

Questions To Be Answered

Based on the total number of people who have mpox, what is the percentage of men vs. women who have mpox?

Question #2:

How many people over age 65 have mpox?

How many men over 65 have mpox?

How many women over 65 have mpox?

How many people under the age of 18 have mpox?

If the average weight of a man is 190 pounds, how many men who are overweight by at least 20 pounds have mpox?

If the average weight of a woman is 160 pounds, how many women who are overweight by at least 20 pounds have mpox?

Sample Data Sets:

The data file that you will be provided with will contain the following data:

Gender,

Age,

Weight,

Height,

Headache?,

Fever?,

Exhaustion?,

Swollen Lymph Nodes?,

Muscle Aches?,
