For example, in Brazil in 2013, 15.4% of employment was in the agriculture sector, 21.9% in the industry sector, and 62.7% in the service sector.
Structure of employment
For each of the following statements, select Yes if, based on the information provided, the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
For the 10 countries listed, the services sector had the greatest range in percent of employment in 2013.
To compare the ranges of the sectors, sort the column for each sector from least to greatest and calculate the difference between the greatest and the least.
Agriculture
Least: 1.2
Greatest: 47.2
Range: 47.2 - 1.2 = 46
Industry
Least: 16.7
Greatest: 29.5
Range: 29.5 - 16.7 ≈ 13
Services
Least: 28.1
Greatest: 81.7
Range: 81.7 - 28.1 ≈ 54
Services has the greatest range.
For the first statement, select Yes.
In exactly half of the 10 countries listed, less than 25% of employment in 2013 was in the industry sector.
Sort Industry from least to greatest.
Start at the top of the list of percentages for Industry and count the values less than 25%
There are 5 such values, which are associated with 5 countries.
5/10 = 1/2
For the second statement, select Yes.
The listed country with the least percent of employment in the agriculture sector in 2013 had the greatest percent of employment in the services sector in 2013.
To find the country with the least percent of employment in the agriculture sector sort Agriculture from least to greatest and identify the country at the top of the list:
United Kingdom
Then, to find the country with the greatest percent of employment in the services sector, sort Services from least to greatest and identify the country at the bottom of the list:
United States
Perhaps they wanted to make this one slightly tricky by using two countries with somewhat similar names.
In any case, the United Kingdom and the United States are not the same country.
For the third statement, select No.
Correct answer Yes, Yes, No

Range in the Agriculture Sector- 47.2-1.2 = 46
2. In exactly half of the 10 countries listed, less than 25% of employment in 2013 was in the industry sector. Yes
There are a total of 10 listed countries mentioned in the list. Half means out of 10 total, 5 countries should have less than 0.25 employment in the industry sector.

So, there are more than five countries in this sector.
Industry Sector- U.S. - 0.167, U.K. - 0.199, Brazil - 0.219, France - 0.222, India - 0.247. Yes, there are exactly five countries that have less than 0.25 employment.

3. The listed country with the least percent of employment in the agriculture sector in 2013 had the greatest percent of employment in the services sector in 2013. No
