(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.

Asians tend to avoid Police Officers more often than African Americans. :carling:

I can acknowledge that more tickets are written to African Americans, more then any other type of race.

Correct?

I don't know, I don't tend to sit with a speed detector and a camera to see if it's an Asian person, and he/she is speeding.

Quarter = 3 months
3 months = 12 weeks
12 weeks = 46 work days

That equals about 25 tickets per day, or about 2-3 per hour. That is assuming this police officer worked 4 days per week, 10 hours per day (typical police schedule).

Blacks are more likely to speed than asians. Also that one police officer likes to write a **** load of speeding tickets. hate to see a years worth.
