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.)

Transcribed Image Text:### Distribution of Household Incomes (2010)
The table below presents the distribution of household incomes in 2010 for a sample of 1,000 households in a country with household incomes up to $100,000.
#### Income Distribution Table
| Income ($1,000) | 10 | 30 | 50 | 70 | 90 |
|----------------|------|------|------|------|------|
| Households | 220 | 290 | 180 | 160 | 150 |
### Required Calculations
1. **Compute the expected value (µ) and the standard deviation (σ) of the associated random variable X.**
- Answers should be rounded to the nearest $1,000.
- \( \mu = \$ \)
- \( \sigma = \$ \)
2. **Income Gap Between Lower-Income and Higher-Income Families:**
- Define a "lower-income" family as one whose income is more than one standard deviation below the mean.
- Define a "higher-income" family as one whose income is at least one standard deviation above the mean.
- Determine the income gap between higher- and lower-income families in the country.
- Round your answer to the nearest $1,000.
