a) 73.9% is the percentage of white students at a 4-year college, 13.4% are at a 2-year college, 1.5% are military, 5.2% are employed, and 6.0% are others. b) For minorities: 77.2% 4-year college, 10.5% 2-year college, 1.8% military, 5.3% employment, 5.3% others. c) Graph attached d) The white and minority students plans are very similar. The small differences should be interpreted with caution because the total number of minority students is small. There is little evidence of an association between race and plans.
