(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The following is a question I ran into when taking an entrance exam for a county job.

A quarterly report shows that speeding tickets written by a police officer are as follows:


  • 527 tickets written to African Americans
  • 356 tickets written to Hispanics
  • 100 tickets written to Whites
  • 95 tickets written to Asians


In one sentence, what can you infer about the information provided?


The way you answer the question is supposed to show how you think. I know what the "right" answer was, but before I post it, I want you guys to post how you would answer it.

My answer:

The community in the area where these speeding tickets were obtained has a higher percentage of African Americans than Hispanics, whites and Asians.

Usually Asians are the bad drivers too. Stereotype I guess is false. =D
