At a certain hospital, 75% of the interns receive fewer than 6 hours of sleep and report feeling tired during their shifts. At the same time, 70% of the interns who receive 6 or more hours of sleep report no feelings of tiredness. If 80% of the interns receive fewer than 6 hours of sleep, what percent of the interns report no feelings of tiredness during their shifts?

A)6

B)14

C)19

D)20

E)81

Matrix problem!

Let's say that there are 100 interns. We know that 75 of the interns get less than 6 hours of sleep and report feeling tired. We also know that 80 of the interns get less than 6 hours of sleep, so 20 get 6 or more hours of sleep. We know that 70% of the 20 who get 6 or more hours, report no feelings of tiredness, so we know that number is 20*.7 = 14 To start, our matrix will look like this:

Next, just fill in the remaining cells, to get this:

I thought I'd point out that David's Double Matrix approach can be used for most questions featuring a population in which each member has two characteristics associated with it.
Here, we have a population of students, and the two characteristics are:
- tired or not tired
- less than 6 hours sleep or more than 6 hours sleep

This question type is VERY COMMON on the GMAT, so be sure to master the technique.

To learn more about the Double Matrix Method, watch our free video: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... ems?id=919

Once you're familiar with this technique, you can attempt these additional practice questions:

Hi David ,

Just a quick question , we have 80 of the interns get less than 6 hours of sleep and 75% of the interns get less than 6 hours of sleep and report feeling tired.

So shouldn't be the interns who get less than 6 hours of sleep and feeling tired = 80*75/100 ? If not then why 70% of the 20 who get 6 or more hours, report no feelings of tiredness, so we know that number is 20*.7 = 14

Please explain.

Many thanks in advance.

SJ
