Answer:
The percentage of the undergraduates surveyed who major in Engineering is 36.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The above table
Required: Percentage of undergraduates that majored in Engineering
We'll solve this question irrespective of whether the undergraduate student plans to go to a graduate school or not.
Follow the steps below
Step 1: Calculate the total engineering students
Tot Engineering students = Undergraduate student that plan to go to graduate school + those that have no plans for graduate school
From the engineering column
Undergraduate student that plan to go to graduate school = 42
those that have no plans for graduate school = 104
Total = 42 + 104
Total = 146
Step 2: Calculate percentage of this category of undergraduates
Percentage is calculated as a ratio of required population to total population.
In other words,
Percentage = Required Population ÷ Total Population
Here,
Required population = total engineering students
Required population = 146
Total Population = 400
Percentage = 146/400
Percentage = 0.365
Percentage. = 36.5%
Hence, the percentage of the undergraduates surveyed who major in Engineering is 36.5%
