- It is costly in both time and money to go to college. Does it pay off? According to the Bureau of the Census, the answer is yes. The average annual income (in thousands of dollars) of a household headed by a person with the stated education level is as follows: 24.5 if ninth grade is the highest level achieved, 41.4 for high school graduates, 59.1 for those holding associate degrees, 82.2 for those with bachelor's degrees, 100.6 for those with master's degrees, and 121.9 for those with doctoral degrees. Make a bar graph showing household income for each education level.arrow_forwardMedicare's new medical plans offer a wide range of variations and choices for seniors when picking a drug plan.

- In 2011, home prices and mortgage rates fell so far that in a number of cities the monthly cost of owning a home was less expensive than renting. The following data show the average asking rent and the monthly mortgage on the median-priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011). 7.

Pearson's product moment, rarrow_forwardOn December 17, 2010, the Wilmington, North Carolina StarNews carried an Associated Press report headlined "13 million get unexpected tax bill from Obama tax credit". The report said that The Internal Revenue Service reported that the average tax refund was $2,892 in the 2010 filing season, up from $2,663 in 2009. However, the number of refunds dropped by 3.5 percent to 93.3 million. What was the percentage increase in the average tax refund from 2009 to 2010? $2,892 - $2,663= 229 ÷ $2,663= 0.08599324% was the percentage increase from 2009 to 2010. How many refunds were there in 2009 and in 2010? (Use the information given in the problem to find your answer.) c. The number of refunds decreased while the average refund increased, so you need some arithmetic to decide how the total dollar amount refunded changed from 2009 to 2010. Find that change in both absolute and percentage termsarrow_forward
- In 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the historic health care reform bill that will provide some type of coverage for the 32 million Americans currently without health care insurance. Just how widespread is the lack of medical coverage? The media claim that the segments of the population most at risk for disease and thus needing healthcare are women, children, the elderly and the poor. The following tables were generated from the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement (2011). Explain using supportive arguments from your analyses. Write a general summary paragraph identifying groups lacking in coverage by gender, age and income and commenting on the headline. Reference the observed numbers and percentages in your summary paragraph to see how the groups trend in identifying potentially more at-risk.
