For each of four voting districts (Districts 1 through 4), the graph shows the percent of the voters in that district who voted for each of the three major candidates (Candidates X, Y, and Z) for mayor of a certain town, and the percent who voted for a candidate other than these three.

This is a stacked bar graph.
Voters in District 4 were more than three times as likely as voters in District ___ to have voted for Candidate ___.
We need voters of district 4 to be more than thrice as likely as some other distirct to vote for a particular candidate. Looking at the graph, we see that district 4 did not vote more than 3 times any other district for candidate X. Its grey segment of the bar would have been at least 3 times more than the grey segment of some other bar. Same is true for the light blue segment so candidate Y is also not possible. District 4's black segment is much bigger than district 2's black segment. Note that district 4's black segment covers more than 3 intervals of the Y axis while district 2's black segment covers less than 1 interval of the Y axis.
Hence, Voters in District 4 were more than three times as likely as voters in District 2 to have voted for Candidate Z.
This question doesn't look like a correct one. With only percentage how can one understands the number of voters? There is fundamentally wrong.

They are asking for the probability. The total number of voters in each district is irrelevant.
I can say that in district 4, about 32% probability is that the voter voted for candidate Z while in district 2, there is 9% probability that the voter voted for candidate Z.
Well, %ages are probabilities.. probability of 1/2 means 50% of the time (of the total) so in that case if question was asking for the number of votes than it would have been wrong, but question asks " Voters in District 4 were more than three times as likely" means 3 times the %age or the probability.
