A university offered 11 professional certificate programs. For each program, the graph shows the number of applications received and the number of applicants admitted during the most recent admission cycle.
Based on the information provided, select from each drop-down menu the option that completes the statement most accurately.
If an applicant were selected at random from each program, the program for which the probability that the applicant was admitted would be greatest is .
The median number of applications received by the 11 programs was .
Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
The probability that an applicant was admitted is represented by the height of the admitted bar relative to the height of the applications bar.
Among the choices, International Relations stands out. Its applications bar is the shortest, while its admitted bar is still relatively high, reaching nearly half the height of the applications bar. For the other choices, the admitted bar is a smaller fraction of the corresponding applications bar.
Therefore, the probability is greatest for International Relations.
Drop-down 2:
There are 11 programs, so the median number of applications is represented by the 6th bar when the application bars are arranged from shortest to tallest.
From the graph, the five shortest application bars belong to International Relations, Biotechnology, Finance, Linguistics, and Data Analytics. After ruling out those five, the next shortest application bar is for Architecture.
The Architecture bar is at about 240 applications.
Therefore, the median number of applications is 240.
Correct answer:
Drop-down 1: "International Relations"
Drop-down 2: "240"
