Note(s):
To ensure confidentiality, the values, including totals, are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of '5' or '10'. To understand these data, one must be aware that each individual value is rounded. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values since totals and sub-totals are independently rounded. Similarly, percentages, which are calculated based on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.
