In Germany, at least three quarters of nurses are women from what I would guess. So if you actually want to take a bet, betting on them being a woman makes you at least three times as likely to be correct as other bets.

Edit: first source I could find says that in 2007, 86% of nurses were women in Germany:

There's no need to take that bet if you can instead just read the article, however. No idea why you bring up a German statistic.

It’s to point out that people are basing their bias in reality.

Articles are mostly a jumping off point for conversation, some people just go by the headline or the comments on the page.
