Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From the bar graph, we can see that the number of males who completed at least some graduate school is represented by the section above the "Graduate School" label. This section is divided into 3 parts, each representing 5 males. Thus, the total number of males who completed at least some graduate school is 3 x 5 = 15. However, the question is asking for the number of males who completed at least some graduate school, not the number of sections representing this group. Therefore, the answer is 2 (since the section representing "Graduate School" itself is not included in the count).
