Solution
Given
In this question, we are given that
- • A survey of 550 male managers and 650 female managers was conducted
• All 1,200 managers identified whether, for each of six characteristics, the characteristic is important to consider when hiring a new employee
• For each of the six characteristics, the percent of managers surveyed who identified that characteristic as important to consider is given in the table shown
To find
We need to determine
- • The correct option, among the given choices
Approach and Working out
Statement 1: Less than 55 percent were male managers.
Among 1200 managers, male managers were 550
- • Hence, percentage of male managers = (550/1200) x 100 = 45.8%
Statement 2: Of the male managers, more identified work experience as an important characteristic to consider than identified proficiency in English.
- • Although we know there are 550 male managers among the total 1200 managers, we have no information about what percentage of male managers chosen the individual categories in the survey.
• Hence, we cannot conclude whether more managers identified work experience as an important characteristic to consider than identified proficiency in English.
Statement 3: Less than 60 percent of the male managers identified specific occupational skill as important to consider.
- • Although we know there are 550 male managers among the total 1200 managers, we have no information about what percentage of male managers chosen the individual categories in the survey.
• Hence, we cannot conclude whether more managers identified specific occupational skill as important to consider.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: Option A
