Can please someone check my answer:
a)385 data loss incidents took place
b)110 million people were affected by personal data loss incidents
c)3% of all data loss incidents were caused by hard copy theft/loss
d)20% of all data loss incidents were caused by portable media theft/loss
e)15% of data loss incidents were linked to financial services organisations.
f)4.13 million people suffered data loss incidents involving Government ID numbers.
Using the above data calculate:
i)The total number of data loss incidents that were linked to financial
services organisations, to the nearest whole number.
ii)The ratio of the number of people affected by data loss incidents caused by portable media theft/loss to the number of people affected by data loss incidents caused by hard copy theft/loss.
(iii) The percentage of all people affected by a personal data loss incident that involved Government ID numbe
A. 15% of 385 = 57.75 ~ 58
B. 3% of 385 = 11.55 ~ 12
C. 154:22
D. I'm not sure how to calculate?
Check your 2-6-11,2:05pm post.
can you please explain, i didn't get it.
Thanks
To calculate the total number of data loss incidents linked to financial services organizations, you can use the given percentage.
To do this, you can multiply the total number of data loss incidents (a) by the percentage given (e).
i) The total number of data loss incidents linked to financial services organizations can be calculated as follows:
Total number of data loss incidents linked to financial services organizations = (15/100) * 385 = 57.75 ≈ 58
So, the total number of data loss incidents linked to financial services organizations is approximately 58 incidents.
For calculating the ratio of people affected by data loss incidents caused by portable media theft/loss to those affected by hard copy theft/loss (ii):
You need to divide the number of people affected by data loss incidents caused by portable media theft/loss (b) by the number of people affected by data loss incidents caused by hard copy theft/loss (c).
ii) The ratio can be calculated as follows:
Ratio of people affected by portable media theft/loss to hard copy theft/loss = 110 million / 3%
To convert the percentage to a decimal, divide it by 100:
Ratio of people affected by portable media theft/loss to hard copy theft/loss = 110 million / (3/100) = 110 million / 0.03
To simplify, divide both numbers by the common factor of 10:
Ratio of people affected by portable media theft/loss to hard copy theft/loss = 11 million / 0.3 = 110/3 = 154:22
So, the ratio is 154:22.
For calculating the percentage of all people affected by personal data loss incidents that involved Government ID numbers (iii):
You can divide the number of people affected by data loss incidents involving Government ID numbers (f) by the total number of people affected by personal data loss incidents (b), and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
iii) The percentage can be calculated as follows:
Percentage of people affected by personal data loss incidents involving Government ID numbers = (4.13 million / 110 million) * 100
Divide the numbers by the common factor of 1,000,000:
Percentage of people affected by personal data loss incidents involving Government ID numbers = (4.13 / 110) * 100 ≈ 3.75%
So, the percentage of all people affected by personal data loss incidents that involved Government ID numbers is approximately 3.75%.
