A Department of Labor study of education and employment found that unemployed full-time students take twice as many units as students who are full-time employees and 1.5 times more units than students who are part-time employees.

If the student who is unemployed takes 16 units, the student who is employed part time takes 14 units, and the full-time employee takes 12 units, is the expectation supported?

Solution

A Department of Labor study of education and employment found that unemployed full-time students take twice as many units as students who are full-time employees and 1.5 times more units than students who are part-time employees.

a). If the f_e for the unemployed student is 16 units, what are the f_e values for students who work part time and full time?

the f_e for the unemployed student is 16 units

the f_e for the part time is 16/1.5=10.667

the f_e for the full time is 16 /2 =8

b). If the student who is unemployed takes 16 units, the student who is employed part time takes 14 units, and the full-time employee takes 12 units, is the expectation supported?
