Original research done by Edgar Dale shows that the effectiveness of learning or the learning retention rate based on the learning experiences and the media that was used for the instruction is shown in the following table (Dale's cone -pdf,gif). From Dale's research, additional studies were performed by the National Training Laboratory Institute for Applied Behavioral Science and many other universities researchers.

Listening to what. Please be more specific.
Studies suggest that the retention rate of information learned in college can vary widely, but on average, individuals retain around 20-50% of what they learned. Factors such as the individual's study habits, the relevance of the information, and how it's practiced post-graduation can influence retention rates.
Approximately 98-99% of the oxygen is retained by the blood returning to the heart when it leaves the lungs under quiet conditions.
On average, people remember about 25-30% of what they hear. This retention rate can vary depending on factors such as attentiveness, interest level, and the complexity of the information being presented. Taking notes or engaging in active listening techniques can help improve retention.
It is not specified how many students there are in total, so it is not possible to calculate the percentage of male students without that information.

Passive listening. This type of listening involves simply hearing the speaker without actively engaging or processing the information being communicated. It can lead to misunderstandings and lack of retention of important information.
Active listening involves asking questions of the person one is listening to. This enables a deeper kind of listening where one is gathering information without judgment.
"Can you tell me more about that?" is an example of questioning as it relates to listening skills. This type of question encourages the speaker to elaborate and provides them with an opportunity to share more information or feelings.
