For 3rd one : Here, the articles of leather % of total exports is 0.7 and production % is 0.12, then headgear total export % decreases a bit to 0.6 and production increases from articles of leather to 0.13; in this case, can it still be called positively correlated.
Yes, I can see a positive correlation between the two for all other commodities, but this is causing a confusion in my head. Can someone please explain this?

Yes, there are one or two products that do not follow the trend of remaining 8, but the general trend is positive.
It is different from directly proportional, wherein each item has to increase in a specific ratio.

A GMAT Focus official question does have the same kind of set, wherein one out of 4-5 entries does not follow the trend.

Say the government has kept an upper limit on exports as 40% of production then the remaining 60% have been kept for local use or emergency use.
If we are given what is the limit we can answer the option I.

However, we are given the share of each product’s export quantity as a % of total exports of that country and nothing on the limits of put.

Thus, option I need not be true.

Second option: If a total of 1 million headgears are exported worldwide, country Z exports 90,000 headgears.

In the last column, we are given 0.09 % share in total world production.
Thus, if total is 1 million headgares, 0.09% or 1000000*0.09/100 or 900 headgares were exported by country z.
So, option 2 is wrong.

­Assuming that country Z produces a total of 120,534 articles of leather, the quantity of articles reserved for local use is 36,160. => Incorrect

No info regarding (1) reserve for local use and (2) ratio of export to production is mentioned


If a total of 1 million headgears are exported worldwide, country Z exports 90,000 headgears. => Incorrect

For Headgear, country Z accounts for 0.09% of the world total export
Country Z = \(1,000,000 * \frac{0.09}{100} = 900\)

There is a positive correlation between the production and exports of listed commodities of country Z. => Correct

Sorty by % production share (ascending)
=> % export share is also increasing
