The provided chart illustrates the amount of exercise taken each week by employees in two departments of a large company. The table presents the number of workdays missed due to ill health over the course of a year. Overall, it is evident that the largest proportion of employees exercised between 5 and 10 hours. Furthermore, most workers were absent for less than five days.
The most significant trend was the percentage of employees in both departments who engaged in 5 to 10 hours of physical activity: 50% in Birmingham and approximately 47% in London. On the other hand, there is a notable disparity among those who exercised for less than 5 hours. In the first department, 15% of individuals fall into this category, while in the second department, the percentage is almost doubled at 35%. Similarly, a higher percentage of employees exercised between 10 and 15 hours in Birmingham (25%) compared to London (10%). However, the proportion of individuals who trained for more than 15 hours was quite similar in both departments: 10% in Birmingham and 8% in London. Furthermore, out of 1000 employees, 380 individuals from Birmingham did not miss work due to illness, whereas in the other department, this number is only 158.
Despite a significant difference in the number of absent employees between London (594) and Birmingham (378), the percentage of those who were absent for more than 5 days is approximately the same in both departments.
