question 2 of 10
people without a college education:
a. are more likely to have high birth - weight babies.
b. earn on average $2 million less over the course of a lifetime than those who have a college education.
c. make more money over the course of their lifetimes because they enter the workforce earlier.
d. earn on average two times less money per year than those who have a college education.

Explanation:

• Option A: There is no direct and general correlation between not having a college education and having high - birth - weight babies. This is an unfounded claim.
• Option B: Studies have shown that, on average, people without a college education earn significantly less over their lifetimes. A common estimate is that they earn about $2 million less than those with a college education over a lifetime.
• Option C: While those without a college education may enter the workforce earlier, they tend to have lower - paying jobs and less career advancement opportunities. So, they do not make more money over their lifetimes.
• Option D: The claim of "two times less money per year" is an inaccurate and overly simplistic generalization. Earnings differences are more complex and are better measured in terms of lifetime earnings differences rather than a simple per - year multiple.

Answer:

B. earn on average $2 million less over the course of a lifetime than those who have a college education.
