In a municipality with a population of about 20,000, estimate the number of 1-4 year old children who should be given Retinol capsules 200,000 every 6 months.

  • A. 1,500
  • B. 1,800
  • C. 2,000
  • D. 2,300
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (2,300). To estimate the number of 1-4 year old children who should be given Retinol capsules 200,000 every 6 months in the municipality, we can use the rule of thumb that around 10-15% of the population falls within the 1-4 age group. With a population of 20,000, this translates to approximately 2,000-3,000 children. Since 200,000 capsules are provided every 6 months, we can divide this by the number of children to determine the number of capsules per child. Therefore, 200,000 / 2,300 ≈ 87 capsules per child over 6 months, which is a reasonable estimate.

Summary of other choices:
A: 1,500 - This is too low given the population estimate and age group percentage.
B: 1,800 - This is also too low given the population estimate and age group percentage.
C
