Example Question #262 : Data Analysis And Probability

The following table shows the result of combining two colors. Use this information to answer the question.

Table3

The color green is created by combining what colors?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When looking at the table, we have to pay attention to the titles of the columns.  So, let's look at the table.

Table3

We see the first column displays the first color we are using.  The second column shows the second color.  The third column is the new color we get when we combine the first two.  

So, to find the colors used to create green, we first need to locate green in the last column.  We see that it is in the third row.  Now, we can look in the same row and see the first and the second color used to make green.

We see that blue is the first color and yellow is the second color.

Therefore, blue and yellow are the two colors used to make green.

We can check that relation with the remaining rows of employees.  We can see that it is true for the remaining employees, so we can use that relation to fill in the missing information. 

So, for Amber M,

So the missing information is .
