Male | Female | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Applied | Admited | Rate | Applied | Admited | Rate | |
Major A | 900 | 450 | 50% | 100 | 80 | 80% |
Major B | 100 | 10 | 10% | 900 | 180 | 20% |
Both | 1000 | 460 | 46% | 1000 | 260 | 26% |
While admission rate for both majors is higher for Female students,
admission rate for both majors together is much higher for Male students!
This is why politicians (and many others) love to (miss)use statistics!
