Level 6 Locating Information Introduction Welcome to Level 6 of Locating Information. At this level, you will work with graphics that are varied, complex and very long. These graphics present data that may be confusing because of the amount of data. In many cases, you will deal with multiple graphics. The tasks at this level involve making decisions, applying many criteria and using higher order thinking skills.


Page 2



This lesson is divided into three topics: • Using documents to draw conclusions and make decisions. • Using criteria to select appropriate information from documents. • Identifying the relationships between information in related documents.

Level 6 Drawing Conclusions

Level 6 Locating Information Drawing Conclusions In Levels 3 and 4, you learned about the types of simple graphics. These graphics were used to convey information in a straightforward way. In Level 5 you learned how to use more complex graphics with many details. You used several graphics at once. This involved selecting the right chart to get the information needed and relating information from one chart to another. In most cases, your task was to find specific information in the charts. In Level 6, you will use these same types of charts in new ways. In this section, your job will not be to find a specific piece of information. Instead, you will be asked to use the charts to make a decision. Making a decision based on a group of data is called drawing a conclusion. Copyright © 2000, SAI Interactive, Inc.

The charts or graphs give you the raw data needed. You then use this data to summarize or identify the trends in the data. Then apply your judgment to determine the best actions for a given situation. The charts below are from a Level 4 lesson on pie charts. In that section, the question was to determine the injury case that had the most improvement from 1996 to 1997. To answer this question, you compared the sizes of each piece of the chart, and found the one that had reduced or decreased the most. After examining the chart, you could tell that Burns had reduced or decreased the most from 1996 to 1997.

When drawing a conclusion, you may not be asked for any particular data from the graph. For instance, you may be asked to start a new safety program at work. The goal is to reduce the number of injuries. For example, you may need to decide what should be discussed at the first meeting? Based on the graphs above, you might want to discuss hand injuries, since that is the leading cause. This conclusion is based not only on the data show, but also on good judgment.


Page 5



Drawing Conclusions When drawing conclusions from charts, it helps to ask these questions: 1. What am I being asked to decide? 2. What information would I need to make a good decision? 3. How can these charts help me make that decision? 4. Can I summarize or identify trends in the charts that make the decision clearer?

Remember that when trying to draw conclusions from charts, it helps to ask yourself these questions? 1.

What am I being asked to decide?

2.

What information would I need to make a good decision?

3.

How can these charts help me make that decision?

4.

Can I summarize or identify trends in the charts that make the decision clearer?



Level 6 Using Criteria

Level 6 Locating Information Using Criteria Many workplace responsibilities involve the use of multiple documents. These documents may contain large amounts of information that is not needed to solve the immediate problem. To solve the problem, you must carefully examine the current situation. Then choose the information that is needed depending upon the situation. The information that describes the current need is called the criteria.




Using Criteria

Actually, you have been using criteria in almost all of the problems. For example, in Level 3, you were asked to find the office supplies budget in 1992 using the bar graph above. The correct answer is $120,000. In this situation, the criteria used was the year 1992, not one of the other years. In this section, there will be an exploration of more detailed criteria. Criteria are used in many ways in the workplace. The success of individuals or groups is measured using criteria. Often these criteria are called goals or metrics.




Using Criteria These goals or metrics can be used to determine pay raises, promotions or other important factors. In one plant, five different metrics are used to determine bonuses for the team in various areas of the plant. These metrics and the team’s actual performance are shown below.

Quarterly Production Metrics Team

Uptime Goal Actual Receiving 85 87 Blending 87 88 Assembling 91 93 Packaging 90 89 Shipping 92 95

Yield Goal Actual 99 99 97 96 92 85 96 96 99 100

Quality Incidents Goal Actual <2 1 <3 1 <5 3 <3 3 <3 4

Safety Environmental Incidents Incidents Goal Actual Goal Actual <5 7 <1 0 <8 5 <3 1 <15 12 <5 6 <7 8 <4 2 <6 4 <2 1

Metrics Quarterly Met Payout 5 15% bonus 4 10% bonus 3 5% bonus 2 No bonus

There are two levels of criteria here. First, each team has a goal to meet for each of the five metrics. For instance, the Blending team should have an uptime of 87%. It met this goal by having an actual uptime of 88%. The second criteria determines the amount of the bonus. The amount of the bonus is determined by the number of goals a team meets. For instance, a team meeting four of the five metrics receives a 10% bonus. Criteria such as these are used in many workplaces.

Level 6 Locating Information Relationships Between Graphics Often problems cannot be solved using only one graphic or chart. This situation can be seen when the needed answer clearly comes from one graphic, but the information that is given is in another graphic. In this situation look for pieces of information that are common between the two. The key to solving these types of problems is finding the relationship between the graphics. Look for common words and phrases. Even if you do not understand the terms used, finding the relationships, may allow you to solve the problem without understanding all of the terms.

Level 6 Answers

Level 6 Locating Information Answers



Level 6 Drawing Conclusions - Answers

Drawing Conclusions - Answers Drawing Conclusions Problem 1: The correct answer is A. Both 1990 and 1960 had significantly warmer high temperatures than 1970 or 1980. Data for 1989 is not shown on the charts, so we do not know what the weather was like then.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 2: The correct answer is D. The lines for both the low and high temperatures for 1960 are at the top of the charts. These warm temperatures indicate that 1960 was a mild winter. Neither the high nor low temperatures in 1970 went above 30 degrees F. Since water freezes at 32 degrees F the water would have remained frozen in 1970. The lowest point on the Low Temperatures for Bear Creek chart occurred in February of 1970. This means that 1970 has a record low temperature month. These charts show low and high temperatures but they do not show snowfall amounts. You would not be able to determine if 1960 had less snowfall than 1970 from these charts alone.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 3: The correct answer is D. To answer this question you need to examine the High Temperatures for Bear Creek chart. The temperature must be above 32 degrees F for rain. Of the months shown, March is the only month in which the temperature stayed below freezing for all the years shown.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 4: The correct answer is C. Looking at the Average Car Repair Costs chart you see that the highest point for each line occurs in year 7. The greatest amount of money spent on car repairs for all types of cars is in the 7th year of ownership.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 5: The correct answer is A. Looking at the Average Car Repair Costs chart you see that compact cars have the lowest repair costs. You have the choice between a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old compact car. The 3-year-old car still has 1-2 two years left of fairly low repair costs. The 5-year-old car is entering the period of the highest repair costs.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 6: The correct answer is A. The year of highest cost is year 5 ($1,200 + $1,000), plus it is newer than the 8-year-old car.




Drawing Conclusions Problem 7: A. A car loses most of its value in around the first five years. Look at the Average Car Depreciation Cost graph. For each car type, most of the drop in value occurs in the first five years. The lines drop steadily in the first 5 years and then flatten out. B. Most major car repairs occur after the car is four years old. Look at the Average Car Repair Costs graph. The repair costs show a sharp increase (rising line) in the fifth year. C. Full-sized cars lose more value in the first year than mid-sized cars. Look at the Average Car Depreciation Cost graph. Full-sized cars lose $2,700 of value in the first year. Mid-sized cars only lose $2,400 of value in the first year.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 8: The correct answer is A. Look at the Crash Rate Highest for Young Drivers chart for 16 year olds. There are only about 180 crashes per 1,000 drivers in states with learners’ permits, instead of nearly 200 crashes per 1,000 drivers in states without learners’ permits.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 9: The correct answer is B. Look at the Crash Rate Highest for Young Drivers chart for the age groups above 30. There is no consistent difference in the number of accidents for drivers from states with graduated permits versus those from states without graduated licenses. (Look at the two bars for each age group; they are almost identical in height.)

Drawing Conclusions Problem 10: The correct answer is C. Although this law may have an effect, these charts only tell you the effect of graduated licenses on accidents.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 11: Incandescent light bulbs need to be changed the most often. Look at the Characteristics of Lighting Lamp Types chart. Incandescent light bulbs have the shortest life which means they would have to be changed the most often.

Drawing Conclusions Problem 12: The correct answer is D. You are looking for the type of light that provides the most lumens per watt.




Drawing Conclusions Problem 13: From the Characteristics of Lighting Lamp Types chart, you can see that incandescent lights are not the brightest, longest-lasting or most energy efficient. Therefore the reason that they are most popular is not in the chart. In this case, you might guess that incandescent bulbs are the cheapest type of light bulb. This is correct. Other possible answers are that they give a pleasant colored light, that they do not require expensive electrical controls and they are fast-starting.



Level 6 Using Criteria - Answers

Using Criteria -- Answers Using Criteria Problem 1: The correct answer is C. The Shipping team met the goals for Uptime, Yield, Safety Incidents and Environmental Incidents. It missed the goal of less than 3 Quality Incidents. This is the only area it needs to improve in.

Using Criteria Problem 2: The correct answer is C. According to the Metric Met/Quarterly Payout table a team must meet the metrics in 4 areas to receive a 10% bonus. Examination of the Quarterly Production Metrics table shows that only the Blending, Receiving and Shipping teams met their goals in at least 4 areas.

Using Criteria Problem 3: The correct answer is A. Blending missed their yield by only 1%. Packing only met 2 goals and it needed 5 for a 15% payout. Receiving had 7 safety incidents, but must have no more than 4. Shipping had 4 quality incidents, but most have no more than 2.

Using Criteria Problem 4: The correct answer is A. The Assembly team had a yield of only 85 with a goal of 92. It might be hard for them to meet this goal next quarter. The Blending team only needs have 3 fewer safety incidents to get a 15% bonus. The Packing team missed three goals, but only narrowly and they could meet their goals next quarter. The Shipping team only needs to have 2 fewer safety incidents to get a 15% bonus.

Using Criteria Problem 5: The correct answer is D. There are three criteria used to determine which device should be selected. One – for use in an unpressurized tank of water, two – the water temperature will be 225°F and three – it will be a non-condensing atmosphere. First use the Level Measurement Selection Guide flowchart. The first question is “Tank pressurized?” and according to the first criteria the answer is “NO”. The second question is “Temperature higher than 212°F and according to the second criteria the answer is “YES”. The next box gives you a choice of two different models PMC 635 or PMC 631 (which is for sanitary installations). A sanitary installation is not one of the criteria so the model you need is PMC 635.



Level 6 Using Criteria - Answers

Using Criteria Problem 6: The correct answer is C. Look at the page with the pictures of models and the Specification table. Model PMC 635 is listed as a Diaphram Seal under the CeraLevel S models. Look up CeraLevel S in the Specification table at the bottom of the page. The minimum span is listed at 2 in H2O and the maximum span is listed at 6000 psi.

Using Criteria Problem 7: The correct answer is B. There are three criteria used to determine which device should be selected. One – for use in an open-top tank of water, two – the water temperature will be room temperature and three – the tank will be located near a river. First, use the Level Measurement Selection Guide flowchart. The first question is “Tank pressurized?” and since nothing is said about a pressurized tank you have to assume that the answer is “NO”. The second question is “Temperature higher than 212°F and you have room temperature water so the answer is “NO”. The third question is “Location exposed to condensation or flooding?” and since your tank is located near a river that might flood the answer is “YES”. You are to use a LevelPilot S level sensor.

Using Criteria Problem 8: The correct answer is D. The column asks for Work Code. Janet Owens worked in production. The code for Direction Production Labor is “P”. See the Code Description box to the right of the line for the employee’s name.

Using Criteria Problem 9: The correct answer is B. The blank labeled 2 is in the Straight Time Hours column and should be filled in with 16 for 8 hours of straight time on Friday and 8 hours of straight time on Saturday. The blank labeled 3 is in the Time & One Half Hours column and should be filled in with 4 for 4 hours of overtime on Friday.

Using Criteria Problem 10: The correct answer is C. The row for Friday has 3 (Extra Work Load) in the Overtime Code column at the far right.

Using Criteria Problem 11: The correct answer is C. The row with the hours listed for Wednesday has a work code of T1 (Training Production).



Level 6 Relationships Between Graphics - Answers

Relationships Between Graphics – Answers Relationships Between Graphics Problem 1: The correct answer is C. First use the Production Week of 2/20 (Number of Rolls) table to determine the total number of brown rolls of carpet you need to produce: 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 rolls of carpet Next use the Dye Inventory table to determine how much brown dye is needed: 8 rolls of carpet x 5 lbs. per roll = 40 lbs. of dye Finally, subtract the amount of dye needed from the amount listed in the Lbs. on Hand 2/19 column of the Dye Inventory table to see how much dye will be left at the end of the week: 100 lbs. - 40 lbs. = 60 lbs. of brown dye left

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 2: The correct answer is D. First use the Production Week of 2/20 (Number of Rolls) table to determine the total number of rolls of carpet you need to produce for each color type: Brown – 8 rolls; Gray – 10 rolls; Green – 11 rolls; Blue – 10 rolls; Rust – 10 rolls. Next use the Dye Inventory table to determine how much of each color dye is needed (multiply the number in the Lbs. required to make a roll column by the number of rolls to be made): Brown – 8 rolls at 5 lbs. per roll = 40 lbs. of dye; Gray – 10 rolls at 6 lbs. per roll = 60 lbs. of dye; Green – 11 rolls at 8 lbs. per roll = 88 lbs. of dye; Blue – 10 rolls at 8 lbs. per roll = 80 lbs. of dye; Rust – 10 rolls at 10 lbs. per roll = 100 lbs. of dye; Finally, subtract the amount of dye needed from the amount listed in the Lbs. on Hand 2/19 column of the Dye Inventory table to see what color dye you will run out of: Brown – 100 lbs. - 40 lbs. = 60 lbs. left Gray – 120 lbs. - 60 lbs. = 60 lbs. left Green – 160 lbs. - 88 lbs. = 72 lbs. left Blue – 120 lbs. - 80 lbs. = 40 lbs. left Rust – 100 lbs. - 100 lbs. = 0 lbs. left

First use data from the Dye Inventory table determine how many pounds of dye are needed to make 10 rolls of carpet for each color: Brown -- 10 rolls x 5 lbs. dye = 50 lbs. of dye for 10 rolls of carpet Gray – 10 rolls x 6 lbs. dye = 60 lbs. of dye for 10 rolls of carpet Green – 10 rolls x 8 lbs. dye = 80 lbs. of dye for 10 rolls of carpet Blue – 10 rolls x 8 lbs. dye = 80 lbs. of dye for 10 rolls of carpet Rust – 10 rolls x 10 lbs. dye = 100 lbs. of dye for 10 rolls of carpet In the previous question you identified how many pounds of each colored dye you will have left at the end of the week: Brown -- 60 lbs. left Gray -- 60 lbs. left Green -- 72 lbs. left Blue -- 40 lbs. left Rust -- 0 lbs. left Finally, determine which dyes you need to order: Color Dye Amount Needed Amount Have Brown 50 lbs. 60 lbs. Gray 60 lbs. 60 lbs. Green 80 lbs. 72 lbs. Blue 80 lbs. 40 lbs. Rust 100 lbs. 0 lbs.

Need to Order Dye No No Yes Yes Yes

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 4: The correct answer is C. Look at the Dye Shipment Times table and find the shipment time for green dye – 4 days. If you want the dye by Monday 2/27 you need to order it by Thursday, 2/23.




Relationships Between Graphics Problem 5: The correct answer is B. The graph title says it shows the volume of steam produced by flashing (discharging) one cubic foot of liquid (condensate) at various pressures. You want 200 cubic feet of steam from one cubic foot of liquid. Starting on the left axis at 200, moving across to the line, then down to the bottom axis, you see this happens at 100 psi (lbs./sq. in.). Next looking at the Properties of Saturated Steam table under the Gauge Pressure column for 100 psi, then moving over to the Specific Volume column, you see the specific volume is 0.017850 cuft/lb

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 6: The correct answer is B. You need the steam temperature to be at least 310°F. The temperatures of saturated steam at various pressures are shown in the Properties of Saturated Steam table. Look down the third column, Steam Temp. (°F), until you find the temperature closest to 310°F. This temperature is 307.60°F. Then go back to the first column, Gauge Pressure, to find the pressure of 60.3 psig. At 70.3 psig the temperature is 316.25°F. Therefore the pressure must be a little over 60 psig, or a minimum of 60 psig.

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 7: The correct answer is B. First look up the RGN number for both Boric Acid and Formaldehyde on the RGN Table: Boric Acid – RGN 1 Formaldehyde – RGN 5 Next look at the Compatibility Chart and find where RGN 1 and RGN 5 intersect. The codes H and P are in the box where RGN 1 and RGN 5 intersect. H means Heat Generation and P means Polymerization.

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 8: The correct answer is B. According to the Compatibility Chart Organic Acids have a RGN of 3. Next, check each of the possible ingredients to see what types of interaction would occur with something that has a RGN of 3. Aldehyde – H for Heat Generation and P for Polymerization Amide – None Amine – H for Heat Generation Caustic – H for Heat Generation Amide is the only ingredient that could be safely mixed with the organic acid.




Relationships Between Graphics Problem 9: The correct answer is C. Given that the soil is: 15% sand, 65% silt, and 20% clay you determine that that it is a “silt loam.” This graphic is unusual. You have to look closely to understand which lines correspond to which property. Notice that the % clay values are horizontal. That indicates the % clay lines are horizontal. Be sure to use the clues available to figure out how to interpret the graphic. From the Soil Properties table, the soil name of a “Silt Loam” is “Kennebec.” The shrink-swell of this soil at 30 inches is moderate.

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 10: The correct answer is D. Given that the soil is: 70% sand and 10% clay you determine it is a “Sandy Loam.” From the Soil Properties table, the Texture Class of “Sandy Loam” is the Soil Name of Sarpy.

Relationships Between Graphics Problem 11: The correct answer is C. Given that the soil is: 30% silt and 30% clay you determine that it is a “Clay Loam.” From the Soil Properties table, for the Texture Class of “Clay Loam” at a depth of 30 inches, the Shrink-Swell Potential is moderate.
