After the group viewed the image, members were asked two questions: “Did you feel the candidate dressed professionally?” and “How likely is the candidate to get hired for the position?” The position of each circle on the graph reflects the perceived level of professionalism of the attire in a given photo, based on the percentage of focus group members who indicated that the outfit was professional. The relative size of the circle indicates the degree to which focus group members indicated that the candidate would be hired for the job.

pintukr · Answer

The graph above represents the results of a survey given to four focus groups labeled A, B, C, and D. Each group was shown a different image of the same man dressed for a professional interview. Each image pictured a different interview outfit containing more profession markers than the previous image, including a tie, formal shoes, a briefcase, and other factors. After the group viewed the image, members were asked two questions: “Did you feel the candidate dressed professionally?” and “How likely is the candidate to get hired for the position?”

The position of each circle on the graph reflects the perceived level of professionalism of the attire in a given photo, based on the percentage of focus group members who indicated that the outfit was professional. The relative size of the circle indicates the degree to which focus group members indicated that the candidate would be hired for the job.

Select the best answer to fill in the blanks in each of the statements below based on the data shown in the graph.

QUESTION 1

I. The relationship between the percentage of the group who felt the subject was dressed professionally and the percentage of the group who believed the subject would be hired is ______.

A. negative
B. zero
C. positive

% of the group who felt the subject was dressed professionally ---> The position of each circle on the graph.
Degree to which focus group members indicated that the candidate would be hired for the job ---> The relative size of the circle.

For any particular group, say A/B/C/D,

As the % of the group who felt the subject was dressed professionally (indicated by the position shift to the right on the Y-axis of the graph) ie,  increases , so does the Degree to which focus group members indicated that the candidate would be hired for the job (indicated by the relative size of the circle)  increases .

Hence, the relationship is POSITIVE

(C) is the CORRECT answer
