Eli Kline · Answer 1

The percentage of employees with 8 or more years at the company that reported that email is their preferred method of communication is 30.48%. I suppose there was a small typing mistake in option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The percentage is the proportion multiplied by 100.

In this question:

210 employees with 8 of more year.

Of those, 64 have the email as their preferred method of communication.

64/210 = 0.3048

0.3048*100 = 30.48%

The percentage of employees with 8 or more years at the company that reported that email is their preferred method of communication is 30.48%. I suppose there was a small typing mistake in option B.
