Question - Academic good standing
To be in good standing at college, a student needs to maintain a certain grade point average (GPA). Typically, a student who falls below 2.0 is put on academic probation for at least a semester. At a local college, administrators wanted to increase the GPA to remain in good standing from 2.0 and reported that the anticipated increase of on probation students would be from 3% to 5% of the student body.
Relatively speaking, the increase in the percentage of students at the college who would be on academic probation would be
(a) 2% over the current figure.
(b) 40% over the current figure.
(c) 67% over the current figure.
(d) We cannot determine the percentage increase because we do not blow how many students attend the college.
