Description

A list of possible staff cetegories, along with the number of staff in that category, and the percentage of staff who have a disability in that category.

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `list`

[ [ "staffnum": 65533, "category": safe("male staff"), "percent": 0.038 ], [ "staffnum": 70994, "category": safe("female staff"), "percent": 0.037 ], [ "staffnum": 578, "category": safe("SES staff"), "percent": 0.026 ], [ "staffnum": 1245, "category": safe("EL staff"), "percent": 0.029 ], [ "staffnum": 24590, "category": safe("staff in NSW"), "percent": 0.039 ], [ "staffnum": 21372, "category": safe("staff in Victoria"), "percent": 0.036 ], [ "staffnum": 14698, "category": safe("overseas staff"), "percent": 0.006 ] ]

Advice

Use the infographic to locate the percentage of staff with a disability in the given category.

{percentage*100}% of {categorydescription} have a disability.

Then find {percentage*100}% of the number of staff in the given category.

{percentage*100}% of {formatnumber(numberofstaff,"si-en")}

= {percentage*100} ÷ 100 x {formatnumber(numberofstaff,"si-en")}

= {formatnumber(percentage*numberofstaff,"si-en")}

This needs to be rounded to the nearest whole number as we are finding the number of staff - you cannot have a decimal answer.

{formatnumber(percentage*numberofstaff,"si-en")} rounded to the nearest whole number is {formatnumber(precround({percentage*numberofstaff},0),"si-en")}.

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
