1. No -> The sum of illnes in second half of 2005 is 306; half of this is 153. May 2005 alone has 157, greater than half of 306. So definitely the numbers are not more than twice in the second half of 2005. Therefore, FALSE.
2. No -> Again for May 2005, we have "n/a". So we can't say that the total is less than or equal to 5. therefore, FALSE
3. Yes -> The percentage is 16.57%. Therefore TRUE.
