The table shows the total number of student applications to universities in a particular state over a period of 12 semesters. States base their decisions on data like this. Suppose the decide that if fewer than 200,000 students apply during 6 or more semesters, the state will make a special effort to promote university education. Using this data, what is the population proportion of semesters for which the number of student applications is less than 200,000?

There are 12 semesters. Since it's in thousands, 106 becomes 106,000, 137 is 137,000, etc., making everything over 200 in the data table over 200,000. Therefore, 7 out of the 12 are over 200,000, making the population proportion 7/12 for over 200,000. Since there are none exactly at 200,000, everything else is under 200,000. To get the population proportion for that, we do 1-7/12=12/12-7/12=5/12
