【答案解析】From the bottom graph, we can estimate the percentage distribution of total enrollment to be:
Public 4-year 41%
Private 4-year 21%
Public 2-year 37%
Private 2-year 1%
Total public 78%
Total private 22%
78 -22 = 3.5, so there were 3.5 times as
many students enrolled in public institutions as private ones.

If the total enrollment in institutions of higher education in 1972 was 5,000,000. approximately how many students were enrolled in private 4-year institutions in 1995?
【正确答案】
E
【答案解析】In 1972, enrollment in private 4-year institutions was approximately 1,100,000 (22% of the total enrollment of 5,000,000). By 1995, the index for private 4-year institutions had increased from 80 to 120, a 50% increase.
Therefore, the number of private 4-year students enrolled in 1995 was approximately 1,650,000 (50% more than the 1,100,000 students enrolled in 1972).
Therefore, the number of private 4-year students enrolled in 1995 was approximately 1,650,000 (50% more than the 1,100,000 students enrolled in 1972).
