In fall 2002, UCLA admitted \(26 \%\) of its California resident applicants, $18 \%\( of its applicants from other U.S. states, and \)13 \%$ of its international student applicants. Of all its applicants, \(86 \%\) were California residents, \(11 \%\) were from other U.S. states, and \(3 \%\) were international students. \({ }^{78}\) What percentage of all admitted students were California residents? (Round your answer to the nearest \(1 \% .)\)
Are based on the following table, which shows the stock market performance of 40 industries from five sectors of the U.S. economy as of noon on September \(11,2015 .\) (Take S to be the set of all 40 industries represented in the table.) $$\begin{array}{|r|c|c|c|c|}\hline & \begin{array}{c}\text { Increased } \\\\(\boldsymbol{X})\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Decreased } \\\\(\boldsymbol{Y})\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Unchanged } \\\\(\boldsymbol{Z})\end{array} & \text { Totals } \\\\\hline \text { Financials }(\boldsymbol{F}) & 3 & 4 & 1 & 8 \\\\\hline \text { Manufacturing }(\boldsymbol{M}) & 8 & 3 & 3 & 14 \\\\\hline \begin{array}{r}\text { Information } \\\\\text { Technology }(T)\end{array} & 6 & 1 & 0 & 7\\\\\hline \text { Health Care }(\boldsymbol{H}) & 4 & 1 & 1 & 6 \\\\\hline \text { Utilities }(\boldsymbol{U}) & 3 & 1 & 1 & 5 \\\\\hline \text { Totals } & 24 & 10 & 6 & 40 \\\\\hline\end{array}$$ Use symbols to describe the event that an industry was in the manufacturing sector and did not increase in value. How many elements are in this event?
