Let the total number of interns who sleep more than 6 hours be \(x\)
Then \(0.7x\) interns sleep more than 6 hours and report not tired
Since, 80% interns sleep for less than 6 hours, then other 20% sleep for over 6 hours i.e. \(x = 20\)
So, \(0.7x = 0.7(20) = 14\)
Therefore, interns reporting not tired during their shifts = \(5 + 14 = 19\)
Hence, option C

80% of all employees sleep less than 6 hours while 75% of all employees report feeling tired.
Thus, 5% of employees who sleep less than 6 hours do not report fatigue.
100-80=20% of all employees sleep over 6 hours.
70% percent of 20%=14%
5%+14%=19%
