Females 46
Column Totals 81 251

How many females are currently not enrolled in Composition 1?
46
83
129
170

Answer 1

Explanation:

83

To find the number of females who are not enrolled in Composition I, we can look at the table and find the total number of females and subtract the number of females who are enrolled in Composition I.

The total number of females is found in the "Column Totals" row, in the second column, and is 251.

The number of females enrolled in Composition I is found in the "Males" row, in the second column, and is 46.

So the number of females who are not enrolled in Composition I is:

251 (total number of females) - 46 (females enrolled in Composition I) = 205

Therefore, the answer is 83.
