This example demonstrates problem decomposition using population data. To answer the main question, "Which group makes up the largest portion of a population?", where the segments are 5% infants, 15% children, 40% adults, and 40% seniors, we must first break it down. The necessary sub-questions are: "What percentage are infants?", "What percentage are children?", "What percentage are adults?", and "What percentage are seniors?". Answering these allows for a direct comparison, revealing that the adult and senior groups, both at 40%, are the largest segments.
