A project manager is reviewing a scatter plot showing 150 employees' 'Years of Experience' (X-axis) versus their 'Average Task Completion Time' (Y-axis, in minutes) for a specific complex task. Employees from different teams (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) are represented by different colored points. The plot shows that Team Alpha's points are clustered in the bottom-left quadrant (low experience, low completion time), Team Beta's points are spread across the middle with a slight upward trend, and Team Gamma's points are predominantly in the top-right quadrant (high experience, high completion time) with significant variability. Which statement is best supported by this data?

Employees from different teams (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) are represented by different colored points.

Which statement is best supported by this data?" is Option A: Team Alpha members are generally less experienced but highly efficient on this task..

The other options — B) Team Beta's task completion time significantly improves with increased experience., C) Team Gamma consists of the most experienced employees, who are also the fastest task completers., D) There is a strong negative correlation between experience and task completion time across all teams. — are incorrect for this GMAT Exam Prep question. As explained above: Team Alpha's clustering in the bottom-left quadrant indicates both low experience and low completion time, implying high efficiency despite less experience. The other options are contradicted by the …
