Key Insights

• Social networking site use declines steeply with age, peaking at about \(\mathrm{70\%}\) for young adults (18-21) and dropping to only \(\mathrm{7\%}\) for those 62 or older.
• Aggregate/repost content creation is consistently low (never exceeding \(\mathrm{18\%}\)) across all age groups.
• Non-use of social media rises steadily as age increases, with a majority of internet users over 41 choosing not to participate in social media by 2007.

Step-by-Step Solution

Question 1: Social Networking Usage Among 62+ Social Media Users

Complete Statement:

In 2007, of the Internet users 62 years old or older who used one or more forms of social media, approximately [BLANK] percent used social networking sites.

Breaking Down the Statement

• Statement Breakdown 1:
  • Key Phrase: Internet users 62 years old or older
  • Meaning: Focuses specifically on the 62+ age group presented in the chart.
  • Relation to Chart: Requires extracting data only for the 62+ group.
  • Important Implications: All calculations pertain only to the users in the 62+ category.
• Statement Breakdown 2:
  • Key Phrase: who used one or more forms of social media
  • Meaning: Refers only to those 62+ users who used social media, excluding those who used none.
  • Relation to Chart: We must subtract out the percentage who 'use no social media' in this age group.
  • Important Implications: We are working with a subgroup of the total 62+ users.

What is needed: What percent of the 62+ social media users used social networking sites in 2007.

Solution:

• Condensed Solution Implementation:
  Determine the percent of social media users (62+) who used social networking sites by dividing the percent using social networking sites by the percent using any social media.
• Necessary Data points:
  In 62+: \(\mathrm{70\%}\) used no social media, \(\mathrm{7\%}\) used social networking sites.
  • Calculations Estimations:
    \(\mathrm{30\%}\) (\(\mathrm{100\% - 70\%}\)) of 62+ used some social media. \(\mathrm{7\%}\) used social networking sites. Therefore, \(\mathrm{7\% ÷ 30\% = 23\%}\).
  • Comparison to Answer Choices:
    \(\mathrm{23\%}\) is closest to \(\mathrm{20\%}\) among the given choices (6, 8, 20, 30).

FINAL ANSWER Blank 1: 20

Question 2: Activities Below 20% for All Age Groups

Complete Statement:

The graph most clearly indicates that in 2007 less than 20 percent of all Internet users over the age of 11 [BLANK]

Breaking Down the Statement

• Statement Breakdown 1:
  • Key Phrase: less than 20 percent
  • Meaning: Looking for an activity that never exceeds \(\mathrm{20\%}\) participation in any age group.
  • Relation to Chart: Requires checking percentage participation in each listed activity for all age groups.
• Statement Breakdown 2:
  • Key Phrase: all Internet users over the age of 11
  • Meaning: Includes all age groups from 12 upwards as per the chart.
  • Relation to Chart: Need to look at every age group's percentages for each activity to meet the criterion.

What is needed: Which activity never reaches \(\mathrm{20\%}\) participation in any age group.

Solution:

• Condensed Solution Implementation:
  Review each activity's participation percentages in every age group for values below \(\mathrm{20\%}\).
• Necessary Data points:
  From the chart, 'aggregate and repost content' ranges from \(\mathrm{11\%}\) to \(\mathrm{18\%}\) across all age groups.
  • Calculations Estimations:
    'Aggregate and repost content' is always below \(\mathrm{20\%}\). Other activities (e.g. 'create content') exceed \(\mathrm{20\%}\) in some age groups.
  • Comparison to Answer Choices:
    Only 'aggregate and repost content' satisfies the requirement of being below \(\mathrm{20\%}\) across all age groups.

FINAL ANSWER Blank 2: Aggregate and repost content

Summary

Both questions require careful reading and interpretation of the graph. Question 1 involves calculating a proportion within a subset (62+ social media users and those among them using social networking sites), while Question 2 involves visually verifying which activity stayed under \(\mathrm{20\%}\) participation for all age groups. For both, following the data and logical steps directly led to the correct answers.

Question Independence Analysis

The questions are independent. Question 1 concerns calculating a specific percentage for one age group, while Question 2 is about identifying a trend across all age groups. No information from one is required to answer the other.
