Answer 1

• 39.2% of women have 4-yr degree
• 62.8% of high school degree earners were men
• 54.2% of the group has 2-yr degrees

Explanation:

It is convenient to enter the numbers into a spreadsheet and have it total them for you. If you need percentages, it can also calculate those. Since you're only interested in a selection of percentages, we can use the totals for calculation.

women with 4-yr degree = (4-yr women)/(all women)

= 171/436 ≈ 0.3922 ≈ 39.2%

__

high school degrees that are men = (hs-male)/(all hs)

= 27/43 ≈ 0.6279 ≈ 62.8%

__

2-yr degrees in group = (all 2-yr)/(all)

= 480/885 ≈ 0.5424 ≈ 54.2%
