In point A:

The overall percent of applicants, which is Asia:


= (446)/(1275) \\\\ = 0.3498039 \approx 34.98 \%

In point B:

The overall percent of the students, who admitted to Asia:


P(accepted\ Asian) = P( (Placcepted \ Asian)/(Asian))


= ((57)/(1275))/((446)/(1275)) \\\\= (57)/(1275) * (1275)/(446) \\\\= (57)/(446) \\\\= 0.1278027\approx 12.78 \%

In point C:

The Asian percentage approved:


P(Asian/accepted) =(P(accepted, Asian))/(P(accepted))\\


=((57)/(1275))/((170)/(1275)) \\\\= (57)/(1275) * (1275)/(170) \\\\= (57)/(170) \\\\= 0.3352941\approx 33.52%

In point D:

The number of all students admitted:


=(170)/(1275)\\\\= 0.13333 \\\\= 13.33%
