Imagine a city with 50,000 people. Twenty percent of the population consists of children younger than five years of age. For the children under five years old, the base rate of malnutrition is 6%. How many children under five years of age in that city are malnourished

Solution

Here, 0.20*50000 = 10000 are children younger than 5 y/o.

Thus, 0.06*10000 = 600 children under 5 y/o are malnourished. [ANSWER, 600]
