You can put this solution on YOUR website! Of the men high school players, about 0.82% of them played in college (4500 out of 549,500).
Of the women high school players, about 0.90% of them played in college (4100 out of 456,900).
Therefore, the women had a slightly better chance.
Of the men, 44 out of 549,500 were drafted = .00008 = .008%
Of the women, 32 of the 456,900 were drafted = .00007 = .007%
Therefore, the men had a slightly better chance of being drafted for professional teams.
