15 Number of women who liked tennis
=
16 x 3 u
= 0.5 u
Number of men who liked tennis
= 3 u - 0.5 u
= 2.5 u
Number of women who disliked tennis
=
15 x 1 u
= 0.2 u
Number of men who disliked tennis
= 1 u - 0.2 u
= 0.8 u
Total number of men
= 2.5 u + 0.8 u
= 3.3 u
Total number of women
= 0.5 u + 0.2 u
= 0.7 u
Men : Women
