Answer 1

ANSWERS

(a) 113

(b) sales, production, accounting

(c) sales

EXPLANATION

(a) The number of female employees in the graph is represented with striped bars. In accounting, the top of this bar is between 100 and 150, but closer to 100,

It is also less than half the distance between each line, so it is less than 125. Since it seems to be between 100 and 125, we could estimate that the number of females in accounting is 113.

(b) In this question we have to check the departments where the green bar is taller than the striped bar. This is the case for three departments: sales, production, and accounting.

(c) In this graph is straightforward to identify the department with the most employees in total, because that department has the highest green bar and the highest striped bar: sales.

Hence, the department with the most employees in total is sales.
