document.write( "Next I went and starting with the male column went over to the right to 2-3 days a week where (53) is listed took that and went to my total of 275 since the formula is P= Male Exercised 2-3 over the Total I got the Answer 53/275\r

document.write( "However Because This Problem Says GIVEN that the Individual was Female I shrink my sample size and focus only on the Female side.
