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. Do this using calculations and graphs, and write a brief summary of your findings. Round your answers to one decimal place.)

PLEASE HELP. 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. WEBASSIGN IS SAYING THIS IS WRONG. Thank you.

Explanation / Answer

required % will be cell value/ sum of columns (not sum of rows }

as populatio in US is not 498137 , but 353307 {498137 is sum of those doing engineering}

hence

58468/353307 = 0.165488

similarly others
