Understanding

Application

Extract the data from the bar graph.

Average number of females from the organizations A, B and C

= [3000 + 3500 + 4000]/3

= 10500/3

And

Average number of males from the organizations C, D and E

= [4750 + 2250 + 3250]/3

= 10250/3

Hence,

Required ratio

= 10500/3 : 10250/3

= 42 : 41
