Answer to Question 1

The definition of the unemployment rate is (number of unemployed)/(labor force)  100. In this calculation, the labor force equals the sum of employed plus unemployed people. Part-time workers are counted as employed. Thus part-time workers are counted in the labor force but are NOT counted as unemployed. Discouraged workers are people who have stopped looking for work and so are not in the labor force. Hence, when calculating the unemployment rate, discouraged workers are counted in neither the number of unemployed nor in the labor force.

Answer to Question 2

B

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
