This question came from an exam on statistics from one of our clients (we are a tutorial center).

According to USA Today (March 17, 1997), women made up 33.7% of the editorial staff at a local TV station in 1990 and 36.2% in 1994. Assume 20 new employees were hired as editorial staff.

Question: Estimate the number that would have been women in each year respectively.

*This is the exact question from the exam. Is there a solution for this or is the given not suffice?

    You can only tell what percent of women was in the editorial staff each year(that too with linear or some other interpolation).2012-07-11

    There is definitely not enough information. Had they told you how many of the new hires were women, there would be.2012-07-11
