Question
What was the difference between the highest and lowest unemployment rate amongst the group of graduates?


                         1990                  2000
Type of Uni    Unemployed   Employed  Unemployed  Employed
Private        155          1475       125         1350
State          125          1610       150         1250  

Answer
1990 Rates:
Private=1475/(155+1475)=1475/1630 or about 90.49%
State=1610/(125+1610)=1610/1735 or about 92.80%

200 Rates:
Private=1350/(125+1350)=1350/1475 or about 91.52%
State=1250/(150+1250)=1250/1400 or about 89.29%

I think you can take it from here...yes?
