PrepTest 107 - Section 3 - Question 21

Show summary

A study of the difference in earnings between men and women in the country of Naota found that the average annual earnings of women who are employed full time is 80 percent of the average annual earnings of men who are employed full time. ████████ █████ ████████ ████████████ █████ █████ ██ ██████ ███ ███████ ██████ ████████ ██ ███ ████████ █████ ██ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████ ████████ ██ ███ ████████ ████

"Surprising" Phenomenon

Why do Naota women employed full-time earn a higher proportion of what their male counterparts earn than do employed Naota women in general?

Objective

Any hypothesis explaining this discrepancy must identify a difference between the collection of people employed in Naota and the collection of people employed full-time in Naota. This distinction must explain a smaller difference between the average earnings of women employed full-time and those of men employed full-time than the difference between the average earnings of employed women in general and those of employed men in general.
