Attempted by 5 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Assume equal total students T for all colleges.
Calculate Female Low-Income % = (Low Income %) × (Female Ratio / Total M:F Ratio).
A: 35% × (6/11) ≈ 19.09%
B: 25% × (5/8) = 15.63%
C: 24% × (2/3) ≈ 16.00%
D: 19% × (2/5) = 7.60%
E: 15% × (3/8) = 5.625%
College E has the least percentage.
Correct Option: 4
