question 72

Multiple Choice

It is spring, and several graduates of State U are seeking employment. State U graduates have evenly distributed GPAs, from 2.0 to 4.0, with an average GPA of 3.0. The largest employer in town, Acme Dynamite, is interviewing candidates, hoping to hire a few hard workers. While Acme does not require students to submit a transcript with their applications, the hiring officer believes that high GPAs signal a willingness to work hard. Acme has received applications from 10 graduates of State U. Five included transcripts, all of which indicated GPAs of 3.0 or better. Acme will most likely infer that the five graduates who did not include transcripts:

• A)had GPAs of less than 3.0.
• B)had GPAs of more than 3.0.
• C)had GPAs evenly distributed between 2.0 and 4.0.
• D)did not carefully read the application instructions.
