It is spring, and several graduates of State U are seeking employment. State U graduates have evenly distributed GPAs, from 2.0 to 4.0, with an average GPA of 3.0. The largest employer in town, Acme Dynamite, is interviewing candidates, hoping to hire a few hard workers. While Acme does not require students to submit a transcript with their applications, the hiring officer believes that high GPAs signal a willingness to work hard. Gerry is a recent graduate if State U and is applying for a job with Acme. Gerry's GPA is 2.9. Should Gerry include a transcript with his job application?
A. No, because his GPA is worse than average.
B. No, because Acme did not request it.
C. Yes, because if he doesn't send a transcript, Acme will infer that Gerry is willing to work harder than he actually wants to work.
D. Yes, because students with higher-than-average GPAs will always include a transcript, so if Gerry doesn't send a transcript, Acme will infer that Gerry's GPA is even lower than it is.
