Students apply for admission to different academic programs within a college. Because of space, each program can only accept a limited number of students. The table shown here the acceptance data for a selection of majors in the college. Acceptance Status Accepted Rejected Total College Major Chemistry 72 18 90 Business 65 35 100 Spanish 45 15 60 Total 182 68 250 For the majors listed here, what proportion of students were rejected?
Add the rejected students across the three majors: 18 + 35 + 15 = 68. There were 250 students total, so the proportion rejected is 68/250. This matches choice A, “68 over 250.”
