\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number of total doctorates = 37451
\n" ); document.write( "Number of total doctorates earned by women = 13782
\n" ); document.write( "Number of total doctorates in business and management = 1164
\n" ); document.write( "Number of total doctorates in business and management earned by women = 292\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number of total doctorates in business and management earned by men = 1164 - 292 = 872.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
