Consider a society with a total population of 200. 100 people earn $3 a day and 100 earn $1 a day. The poverty line is set at $2 a day. The poverty gap ratio (PG) is expressed as: where z is the poverty line, yi is the income of individual i, q is the number of poor people (whose incomes are below the poverty line) and n is the size of the population. What is the value of the poverty gap ratio of this society? Select one: 0.750 0.500 0.250 0.125

This chart displays the average rate of people living in poverty in the 23 continental states west of the Mississippi River for the years 2014-2016. Create a stemplot for these data. Note that a stemplot never shows the decimal symbol and only the rightmost digit is used for the leaf.

Every year the U.S. Census Bureau counts the number of people living in poverty. The bureau uses money income thresholds to define poverty, so non cash benefits such as Medicaid and food stamps do not count toward poverty thresholds. For example, in 2009 the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children was $\$ 21,756 .$ The bar graph represents the number of people living in poverty in the United States in 2009, by ethnicity. (a) How many whites were living in poverty in $2009 ?$ (b) Of the impoverished, what percent were Hispanic? (c) How might this graph be misleading? (GRAPH CAN'T COPY)
