Option B is the way to go. Odds ratios are all about the multiplicative effect, not the absolute probability. Easy peasy!

The odds ratio is pretty straightforward, but I'm still confused why the probability isn't also 1.142 times greater. Seems like a trick question.

Okay, the key is to focus on the odds ratio and what it's telling us about the relationship between salary and the event. I think I can figure this out.
