Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Summary: read the numbers in each distinct region of the diagram and use them to compute the percentage of administrators.

  • Teachers only = 70

  • Teachers and Administrators = 10

  • Administrators only = 20

  • Administrators and Researchers = 20

  • Researchers only = 40

Total people: 70 + 10 + 20 + 20 + 40 = 160

Total administrators: 10 (teachers ∩ admins) + 20 (admins only) + 20 (admins ∩ researchers) = 50

Percentage of administrators: (50 / 160) × 100 = 31.25%

Conclusion: the administrator percentage is 31.25%, which lies in the range 31 to 45.
