Calculate Transgenders in Universities Data Analysis

The question asks us to find out in how many universities the number of transgender employees is more than 500. To answer this, we need to calculate the actual number of transgender employees in each of the six universities based on the provided table.

Here is the data from the table:

Step-by-Step Calculation of Transgender Employees

We will calculate the number of transgender employees for each university using the formula:

Number of Transgenders = \(\text{Total Employees} \times \frac{\text{Percentage Transgenders}}{100}\)

• University A:
• Total Employees = 2400
• Percentage Transgenders = 12.5%
• Number of Transgenders = \(2400 \times \frac{12.5}{100} = 2400 \times 0.125 = 300\)
• Is 300 > 500? No.
• University B:
• Total Employees = 4375
• Percentage Transgenders = 24%
• Number of Transgenders = \(4375 \times \frac{24}{100} = 4375 \times 0.24 = 1050\)
• Is 1050 > 500? Yes.
• University C:
• Total Employees = 2625
• Percentage Transgenders = 20%
• Number of Transgenders = \(2625 \times \frac{20}{100} = 2625 \times 0.20 = 525\)
• Is 525 > 500? Yes.
• University D:
• Total Employees = 6000
• Percentage Transgenders = 40%
• Number of Transgenders = \(6000 \times \frac{40}{100} = 6000 \times 0.40 = 2400\)
• Is 2400 > 500? Yes.
• University E:
• Total Employees = 4250
• Percentage Transgenders = 32%
• Number of Transgenders = \(4250 \times \frac{32}{100} = 4250 \times 0.32 = 1360\)
• Is 1360 > 500? Yes.
• University F:
• Total Employees = 1360
• Percentage Transgenders = 15%
• Number of Transgenders = \(1360 \times \frac{15}{100} = 1360 \times 0.15 = 204\)
• Is 204 > 500? No.

Summarizing the Results for Transgender Employees

Let's list the number of transgender employees for each university:

• University A: 300
• University B: 1050
• University C: 525
• University D: 2400
• University E: 1360
• University F: 204

Now, we check in which universities the number of transgender employees is more than 500:

• University A: 300 (\(\le 500\)) - No
• University B: 1050 (\(> 500\)) - Yes
• University C: 525 (\(> 500\)) - Yes
• University D: 2400 (\(> 500\)) - Yes
• University E: 1360 (\(> 500\)) - Yes
• University F: 204 (\(\le 500\)) - No

The universities where the number of transgender employees is more than 500 are B, C, D, and E.

Counting these universities, we find there are 4 universities.

Comparing with Options

The number of universities where the number of transgenders is more than 500 is 4.

Let's look at the options:

• All the six universities
• Only three universities
• Only two universities
• Only four universities

Our calculated count of 4 universities matches the fourth option.

Revision Table: University Employee Data

The table clearly shows that universities B, C, D, and E have more than 500 transgender employees, which is a total of 4 universities.

Additional Information: Data Interpretation Skills

This question is a typical example of a data interpretation problem often found in competitive exams. To solve such problems, you need to:

• Read the question and the table carefully to understand what information is given and what is being asked.
• Identify the relevant data points needed for the calculation (Total Employees and Percentage Transgenders in this case).
• Perform the required calculations accurately (percentage calculation here).
• Compare the results with the given condition (more than 500).
• Summarize the findings and match them with the options provided.

Practicing different types of data interpretation questions involving tables, charts, and graphs helps improve speed and accuracy in these sections.
