Question

the data below provides a statistical snapshot of the proportion of community college students who majored in different fields of study. a total of 33,150 community college students were included in the study. table 3 displays the total number of community college students who majored in each of the following fields of study. complete the table by filling in the percentages of community college students who majored in each field of study. round to the nearest one percent.

Answer 1

Humanities ---> 3%

Social/ Behavioural sciences ---> 8%

Mathematics and Science ---> 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage for each value can be calculated by dividing the number of students in that field by the total number of students in college and then multiplying it by 100, so for each field of study, we get

`(850)/(33150)*100=0.03*100=3\text{ \%}`
`(2,600)/(33,150)*100=0.08*100=8^{}\text{ \% }`
`(5,175)/(33,150)*100=0.16*100=16\text{ \%}`

Therefore, the answers are

Humanities ---> 3%

Social/ Behavioural sciences ---> 8%

Mathematics and Science ---> 16%
