Question
The following table shows the distribution of household incomes in 2010 for a sample of 1,000 households in a country with incomes up to $100,000.

A. Compute the expected value ? and the standard deviation ? of the associated random variable X. (Round your answers to the nearest $1,000.)

?= $
?= $
 
B. If we define a "lower-income" family as one whose income is more than one standard deviation below the mean and a "higher-income" family as one whose income is at least one standard deviation above the mean, what is the income gap between higher- and lower-income families in the country? (Round your answer to the nearest $1,000.)
