Solution

1) women accepted at this COLLEGE = (total women admitted) /(total women applied)
= (936+175)/(1174+661)
=0.60544 = 60.5%

2) men accepted at College = (total men admitted)/ (total men applied)

5)What percent of Men were accepted into Liberal Arts Program___________?
= (men admitted in lib art) / (men applied to lib arts)
= (336/538) = 0.62453 = 62.5%

6)Which group seeme to have an advantage for Physics Women?
men percent acceptence in physics = 551/2153 = 25.6%
women percent acceptence in physics = 175/551 = 26.5%

7) Does this data display Simpson\'s Pavadox___________? NO
No, SInce both cases lib arts and physics women have higher percent of acceptance and also overall college the acceptence rate of women is higher
