<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="background-color:white"><span style="color:#424242">Below are tables comparing the number of part-time and full-time students at St. Mary College and St. Paul College 2020 . The tables display counts (frequencies) and percentages or proportions (relative frequencies). The percent columns make comparing the same categories in the colleges easier. Displaying percentages along with the numbers is often helpful, but it is particularly important when comparing sets of data that do not have the same totals, such as the total enrollments for both colleges in this example. Notice how much larger the percentage for part-time students at St. Mary College is compared to St. Paul College.</span></span></span></p>
