Solution
The answer is A: 53%.
Explanation for each option:
a. 53% - This is the correct answer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 53% of sonographers work in hospital settings. Hospitals are the primary employers for sonographers due to the need for diagnostic imaging in various departments such as radiology, cardiology, and obstetrics.
b. 76% - This percentage is too high. While hospitals are significant employers of sonographers, they do not employ as high a percentage as 76%.
c. 68% - This percentage is also higher than the actual statistic. While a substantial number of sonographers work in hospitals, it is not as high as 68%.
d. 27% - This percentage is too low. Hospitals employ a larger proportion of sonographers than 27%, as they are key facilities for medical imaging services.
