Step1: Compare male and female employees in each department

• Advertising: Males (\(175\)) vs Females (\(150\)), \(175>150\)
• Sales: Males (\(175\)) vs Females (\(175\)), \(175 = 175\)
• Production: Males (\(225\)) vs Females (\(250\)), \(225<250\)
• Accounting: Males (\(150\)) vs Females (\(175\)), \(150<175\)

(b)

Step1: Check number of male employees in each department

• Advertising: \(175<200\)
• Sales: \(175<200\)
• Production: \(225>200\)
• Accounting: \(150<200\)

Step1: Add male and female employees in Accounting

Males (\(150\)) + Females (\(175\)) = \(150 + 175\)

Step2: Calculate the sum

\(150+175=325\)
