14 Number of women who liked floorball
=
15 x 3 u
= 0.6 u
Number of men who liked floorball
= 3 u - 0.6 u
= 2.4 u
Number of women who disliked floorball
=
14 x 1 u
= 0.25 u
Number of men who disliked floorball
= 1 u - 0.25 u
= 0.75 u
Total number of women
= 0.6 u + 0.25 u
= 0.85 u
Total number of men
= 2.4 u + 0.75 u
= 3.15 u
Men : Women
0.85 : 3.15
