1. We see that the percentage of Surgeons and even Paramedics wearing protective gear is higher than the veterinarian across all types of gears. This can be explained by "Humans catch diseases from other humans much more easily than from animals." Hence, the first statement "Would Help Explain" the information in the table.
2. We see that a higher percent of Construction Workers wear earplugs or hearing protection compared to Paramedics. This could be explained by "Ambulance sirens are loud, but they don't damage people's hearing as much as power tools do." Hence, the second statement "Would Help Explain" the information in the table.
3. There is no information in the table that can be explained by "About 10% of janitors earn extra pay for cleaning hazardous areas." Hence, the third statement "Would Not Help Explain" the information in the table.
