O The white female is being discriminated against by $10,000. O The white female is being discriminated against, but the amount is less than $10,000. O The white female is being discriminated against, but the dollar amount is unclear. O There is not enough information to know whether discrimination exists.

Assume that Al, Beth, Carol, David, and Ed receive incomes of $500, $250, $125, $75, and $50, respectively. Construct and interpret a Lorenz curve for this five-person economy. What percentages of total income are received by the richest quintile and by the poorest quintile?
Which of the following statements is correct? OA. The farther the Lorenz curve is from the line of equality, the more unequal is the distribution of income. OB. The Lorenz curve for wealth is closer to the line of equality than the Lorenz curve for income. OC. If the Lorenz curve crosses the line of equality the distribution of income is more unequal at high income levels than at low income levels. D. The closer the Lorenz curve is to the line of equality, the more unequal is the distribution of income. % 5 6 M Oll & 7 8 O ( 9 ) 0 Next It de le S Orie 1 C+ Camp NS T Codin hool S + Mihaile.
