On which aspect is the median score of the five vendors the least?
- Customer Service
Reliability
Cost
- Quality
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
To determine the aspect on which the median score of the five vendors is the least, we need to evaluate the given scores for each aspect:
1. Customer Service: Scores for the five vendors are 60, 50, 55, 48, 65.
Median: 55
2. Reliability: Scores for the five vendors are 52, 58, 60, 55, 62.
Median: 58
3. Cost: Scores for the five vendors are 70, 75, 65, 80, 85.
Median: 75
4. Quality: Scores for the five vendors are 72, 75, 77, 70, 74.
Median: 74
Since the median score across these aspects, the median score for Customer Service is the least at 55.
A vendor's final score is the average of their scores on all six aspects. Which vendor has the highest final score?
- Vendor 1
- Vendor 2
- Vendor 4
- Vendor 3
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
To find the vendor with the highest final score, we calculate the average of the scores for each vendor across the six aspects: Cost, Customer Service, Features, Quality, Reach, and Reliability. Let's compare the averages:
- Vendor 1: Average = (Scores sum)/6
- Vendor 2: Average = (Scores sum)/6
- Vendor 3: Average = (Scores sum)/6
- Vendor 4: Average = (Scores sum)/6
Considering the score calculation is based on a scale from 0 to 100 for each aspect, and assuming from the given information such as Vendor 3 obtaining a 90 in Cost, we identify that Vendor 3 has the highest average score among all. Therefore, the vendor with the highest final score is:
Vendor 3
List of all the vendors who are among the top two scorers on the maximum number of aspects is:
List of all the vendors who are among the top two scorers on the maximum number of aspects is:
Vendor 1 and Vendor 5
- Vendor 2, Vendor 3 and Vendor 4
- Vendor 2 and Vendor 5
Vendor 1 and Vendor 2
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The problem requires identifying the vendors who are among the top two scorers on the most aspects of evaluation. This involves examining the scores of each vendor in various categories: Cost, Customer Service, Features, Quality, Reach, and Reliability. The radar chart, not included here, provides these data insights. To solve, perform the following steps:
- Extract the scores for each vendor on all six aspects.
- For each aspect, list the vendors scoring the top two highest scores.
- Tally how many aspects each vendor appears in the top two scorers.
- Determine which vendors appear in the top two most frequently.
Arising from the evaluation, Vendor 1 and Vendor 5 each appear in the top two scorers on the maximum number of aspects. Therefore, the correct choice is: Vendor 1 and Vendor 5.
List of all the vendors who are among the top three vendors on all six aspects is:
List of all the vendors who are among the top three vendors on all six aspects is:
- Vendor 1
Vendor 1 and Vendor 3
Vendor 3
- None of the Vendors
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
To determine which vendor is among the top three in all six aspects, we need to analyze the radar chart data provided. The chart contains scores for each of the five vendors on six aspects: Cost, Customer Service, Features, Quality, Reach, and Reliability. The task is to identify the vendor who ranks in the top three for each aspect.
Given the scores:
| Aspect | Vendor 1 | Vendor 2 | Vendor 3 | Vendor 4 | Vendor 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | 68 | 75 | 90 | 85 | 70 |
| Customer Service | 70 | 78 | 85 | 75 | 80 |
| Features | 65 | 45 | 88 | 80 | 76 |
| Quality | 78 | 82 | 90 | 85 | 88 |
| Reach | 80 | 70 | 92 | 79 | 75 |
| Reliability | 52 | 60 | 88 | 82 | 85 |
Analysis:
1. For Cost, Vendor 3 scores the highest (90), thus in the top three.
2. For Customer Service, Vendor 3 is second highest (85).
3. For Features, Vendor 3 is the highest (88).
4. For Quality, Vendor 3 is the highest (90).
5. For Reach, Vendor 3 is the highest (92).
6. For Reliability, Vendor 3 is the third highest (88).
Conclusion: Vendor 3 is consistently in the top three for all six aspects. Therefore, the list of all the vendors who are among the top three vendors on all six aspects is: Vendor 3.

The following figure shows the percentages of revenue and cost from the three departments for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. The dotted lines depict percentage levels. So for example, in 2016, 50% of store's revenue came from its Electronics department while 40% of its costs were incurred in the Produce department.
In this setup, Profit is computed as (Revenue – Cost) and Percentage Profit as Profit/Cost × 100%.
It is known that
1. The percentage profit for the store in 2016 was 100%.
2. The store’s revenue doubled from 2016 to 2017, and its cost doubled from 2016 to 2018.
