Now use this percentage to calculate the approx. number of 999 applicants in a draw wmu from the total number of applicants in the draw code.

eg. 12000 draw code 999 applicants x 10% = 1200 applicants for wmu BBB.



The approximated number of applicants (WMU BBB specific and 999 inclusive) is 2200.




A person can use the same math using the priority levels to estimate the number of applicants with a specific priority.

It is an estimation, but based on solid statistical analysis and probability techniques.

Anyone know of a more accurate was to apporximate this number?

.
So in other words just guess!! LoL
