This is a lengthy one, with calculations.
1. The schools with the two largest endowments in 2008 composed more than 1/3 of the total value of all 10 university endowments in 2008
The top universities in terms of endowment are Harvard and Yale = 36.60 + 22.90 = 59.50
Total for 2008 (Of course used calculator) = 147.8
So % = 59.5/147.8 = 40.2%
So True
2. The percentage increase from 2005 to 2011 in the combined size of the endowments for the two Massachusetts universities was larger than the corresponding percentage increase for the combined size of the endowments for the two Texas university systems.
For the two Massachusetts universities:
2005: 25.5 + 6.7 = 32.2
2011: 31.7 + 9.7 = 41.4
% increase: ~28%
For the Texas universities:
2005: 5 + 11.6 = 16.6
2011: 7 + 17.1 = 24.1
% increase: ~45%
So False
3. The university with the second-largest endowment in 2005 had the lowest percentage increase in endowment from 2005 to 2011.
We will have to eyeball this
Harvard and Yale were at 1 and 2 in terms of endowment in 2005
For remaining universities we do see a significant increase and only these two fall in close contention
% increase for Harvard: 24%
% increase for Yale: 27.6%
So False
