The answer is indeed E! Make sure you understand the concept of weighted averages

If the acceptance rates for foreign films match those for domestic films in each category yet a higher percentage of domestic films are accepted, it must be that a larger percentage of foreign films than domestic films are entered in categories in which the acceptance rate is low.

See whether you can make the connection between this question and the one below


Suppose that Laverne, in her first year of college, got A's (4's) in all her science courses (the highest possible grade) and C's (2's) in non-science courses, and that her GPA in her first year was 3.0. Is it possible that her second year GPA will be higher even if she doesn't do better on her non-science courses than she did in her first year

hi kevin,

when we say rate of acceptance , do we mean, total no. of foreign films accepted / total no. of foreign films submitted

or

total no. of foreign films accepted / total no. of films (foreign+ domestic)

I guess it is the first one.....In that case it would support E.

Pl. advise.

Why not D? I think D is the winner.
