Our Assistant Professor, XXX has been making elaborate notes in preparation

for this Test. One entry in his notes reads as follows. Hourly compensation for

manufacturing workers in 2016 averaged about $3.27 in India, $2.06 in the Philippines,

$3.60 in China, $3.91 in Mexico, $9.82 in Taiwan, $8.60 in Hungary, $7.98 in Brazil, $10.96

in Portugal, $22.98 in South Korea, $23.67 in New Zealand, $24.46 in Japan, $30.08 in

Canada, $39.03 in the United States, $43.18 in Germany, and $60.36 in Switzerland.

Professor XXX shared his notes with another colleague last night, and that very

knowledgeable colleague told Prof. XXX that he was just wasting his time as that

entry in his notes bears no relevance to the Test. What is your opinion on this matter?

Please elaborate upon your answer fully and clearly.
