1. What you will learn

Combine tabular records with definitions and policies to select a supported quantitative or logical conclusion. Attempt these four new problems without notes after a study gap. Explain the decisive restriction before opening feedback.

2. Practice

Which statement is supported?

Question context

A recruiting team compares two applicant pools.

Recorded data

Pool	Applicants	Passed initial screen
Local	60	24
Remote	140	42

Definitions and policy

Passing the screen is a necessary but not sufficient condition for hiring. Subsequent interview results are not yet available.

The local pool had a higher initial-screen pass rate.
More local applicants passed the screen.
Every screened applicant will be hired.
The remote pool will yield more hires.
The combined pass rate is 35%.
