Question

Asia has become a major competitor of the United States and Western Europe in education as well as economics. Here are counts of first university degrees in science and engineering in the three regions.

Direct comparison of counts of degrees would require us to take into account Asia's much larger population. We can, however, compare the distribution of degrees by field of study in the three regions. Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Explanation / Answer

Since we are comparing % by Field of Study, and not by the number of degrees for a region, the table below look like this

The % calculation would be the (Cell Value/Total Row Value) * 100 . For eg, engg degrees in the US = (58468/498137) * 100 = 11.7%. The Table below, gives the calculated % values.

Field United States Western Europe Asia Total Engineering 58468 161616 278053 498137 Natural Science 111393 139106 244265 494764 Social Science 183446 116627 237563 537636
