The Corruption Perceptions Index uses perceptions of the general public, business people, and risk analysts to rate countries by how likely they are to accept bribes. The ratings are on a scale from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent less corruption. The graph shows the corruption rating for the world’s least corrupt and most corrupt countries. (The rating for the United States is 7.6.) Use the graph to solve Exercises 39-40.
