Praxis 5511 Practice Test Practice Question
Martin applied for a job at 15 companies, of which 80 percent responded. Of those companies responding, 25 percent invited him for an interview. How many companies invited him for an interview?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine how many companies invited Martin for an interview, first calculate the number of companies that responded. With 15 companies and an 80% response rate, he received responses from 12 companies (15 x 0.80 = 12). Next, from those 12 respondents, 25% invited him for an interview. This means 3 companies invited him (12 x 0.25 = 3).
Option A (2) is incorrect because it underestimates the number of invitations. Option C (4) and Option D (5) overestimate the invitations, as they do not align with the calculated 3 invitations. Thus, 3 is the accurate count of companies that invited Martin for an interview.
