In a study of the first 1000 business school applications submitted to university x, it was found that one-fifth of all applicants claimed to have more years of work experience than they truly possess. however, the study may under-estimate the proportion of total applicants to university x who are dishonest, because: ) the proportion of students who are dis-honest about their work experience may be higher out of those who submitted their application after the first 1000 applicants than those applicants who were covered in the study. b) the study may have considered an applicant dis-honest when it was unable to easily verify work experience because a prior employer for which the applicant truly worked had since gone out of business. c) some applicants who claimed to have possessed only a year or two of additional professional experience than they really had were also dis-honest in other parts of their applications. d) some applicants who claimed over a decade of work experience really possessed such professional history. e) the proportion of applicants at university y who were dis-honest on their applications was larger than that of university x.

a) the proportion of students who are dis-honest about their work experience may be higher out of those who submitted their application after the first 1000 applicants than those applicants who were covered in the study.

Explanation:

In the first thousand applications, it is given in the context that the nearly one - fifth of the applicants were dishonest in the study. So now it is possible that  half of the rest of the applicants are dishonest and hence 1/5 may underestimate the proportion of dishonest applicants.

Hence the correct option is (a).

answer; the above statement is (false);

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
