The proportion for which the number of students is less than 200000 is given as 0.42
How to solve for the proportion
We have 12 semesters, each of the values on the table are expressed in hundreds of thousands. Hence 106 is 106000 etc.
out of the 12, 7 are seen to be over 200000. Hence the proportion would be gotten as
12 - 7 / 12
= 5/12
= 0.42
or 42 percent
