.24*33= 7.92 ~ 8
it will be 0.24 * 37 and not 0.24 * 33
From the graph no. of female = 2
No. male = 35
Total employees = 37
Now we need to find the total no. of employees in the 35-44 age group
and that will be = 0.24 * 37 = 8.88 (because 24% consist the total no. of employees in the age group of 35-44)
And we know there are 2 female employees in the same age group,
So the no. of male in the age group = 8.88 - 2 = 6.88 = which is closer to 7 and not 6
Therefore answer is B

f = # of females
m = # of males
T = total # of males and females = m + f
1) all the females in the Supply Chain Department are in the age group of 35 to 44 -----------> 24% T = f
2) approximately 6% of the entire supply chain department are females --------------> f = 6% (35) = 2
0.24 (f + m) = f ------> m = 6.33
since we can't have 6.33 men, we round it to 7.
m = # of males
T = total # of males and females = m + f
