Draw and compare lorenz curves for the given array of population, 20% from the population strata given. Population of country A from poorest to richest has income shares of 8%, 13%, 15%, 23% and 41% while the country B has 8%, 10%, 13%, 25% and 44% respectively. Looking at both results what can be inferred? Calculate GINI Coefficient as well

The table below shows information about the distribution of income in two countries. The rows are labeled "deciles" which are like percentiles but for groups of 10% instead of 1% of the population. The 1St decile is the poorest 10%, for example, while the 10th decile is the richest 10%.
