In response to mounting public concern, an airplane manufacturer implemented a program with the well-publicized goal of reducing by half the total yearly amount of hazardous waste generated by its passenger-jet division  When the program began in 1994, the division' s hazardous waste output was 90 pounds per production worker; last year it was 40 pounds per production worker
Clearly, ttherefore, charges that the manufacturer' s program has not met its goal are false
The number of production workers assigned to the passenger-jet division was not significantly less in 1994 than it was last year.
