Answer to Problem 2.3E

8.7%

Explanation of Solution

Given:

    FieldPercentage of planning to study
    Arts and humanities25.2%
    Business19.3%
    Education7.1%
    Engineering and science16.6%
    Professional7.8%
    Social science15.3%

Calculation:

For given data total percentage is

25.2% + 19.3% + 7.1% + 16.6% + 7.8% + 15.3% = 91.3%

Plan to study for other field will be

100% - 91.3% = 8.7%
