The table shows training completion data, by program, for employees who enrolled in 2003. Percentages are rounded to one decimal place.
| Program | Employees enrolled | Employees who completed | Employees who did not complete | Completion rate (%) |
| Leadership | 1,120 | 520 | 600 | 46.4 |
| Finance | 2,860 | 1,435 | 1,425 | 50.2 |
| Communication | 890 | 500 | 390 | 56.2 |
| Technical | 1,050 | 370 | 680 | 35.2 |
| Health & Safety | 800 | 445 | 355 | 55.6 |
| Project Management | 3,350 | 1,625 | 1,725 | 48.5 |
| Science & Engineering | 940 | 405 | 535 | 43.1 |
| Operations | 2,470 | 1,330 | 1,140 | 53.8 |
| Total | 13,480 | 6,630 | 6,850 | 49.2 |
For each of the following statements, select
True if the statement is true based solely on the information in the table; otherwise select
False.
• The program with the highest completion rate did not have the largest number of completions. Highest rate = Communication (56.2%). Largest completions = Project Management (1,625). Different programs.
Answer:
True • Among the programs with at least 1,000 enrolled employees, the lowest completion rate occurred in a program where more employees failed to complete than completed. At least 1,000 enrolled: Leadership (46.4%), Finance (50.2%), Technical (35.2%), Project Management (48.5%), Operations (53.8%). Lowest = Technical, with 370 completed vs. 680 not completed. More failed than completed.
Answer:
True • The combined number of completions in all programs with below-average completion rates was greater than the combined number of completions in all programs with above-average completion rates. Average completion rate = 49.2%.
Below average completions (in ascending order): Technical 370, Science & Engineering 405, Leadership 520, Project Management 1,625.
Above average completions (in ascending order): Health & Safety 445, Communication 500, Operations 1,330, Finance 1,435.
Even without adding totals, it is clear the above-average group is larger.
