In year X were there more female salespersons in the securities sector than in the insurance sector?
(1) There were more male salespersons in the insurance sector than in the securities sector.
(2) The total number of salespersons was greater in the securities sector than in the insurance sector.
(1) Securities sector: 37.1% Female & 62.9% Male
Insurance sector = 26.2% Female & 73.8% Male
We're told that there were more male salespersons in the insurance sector than in the securities sector. However, this is not enough information to conclude that there were more female salespersons in the securities sector than in the insurance sector.
If Securities sector had a total of 200 people, and the insurance sector had a total of 100 people, then the securities sector has more female salespersons.
If Securities sector had a total of 50 people and the insurance sector had a total of 100 people, then the Insurance sector has more female salespersons.
INSUFFICIENT.
