The students at a small community college in Iowa apply to study either English or Business. Some administrators at the college are concerned that women are being discriminated against in being allowed admittance, particularly in the business program. Below, you will find two pivot tables that show the percentage of students admitted by gender to the English program and the Business school. The data has also been presented graphically. What do the data and graphs indicate?

What will be an ideal response?
These data indicate that a smaller percentage of women are being admitted to the business program. Only 30.8% of women are being admitted to the business program compared to 35.9% for men. However, it is also important to note that only 34.6% of all applicants (women and men) are admitted to the business program compared to 46.5% for the English program. Perhaps the males could even indicate a bias against being admitted to the English program.
