Suppose Country B's government now reports that its population mean disposable household income is $1,000 per month, with a standard deviation of $150. Country A's population mean is $1,100, with a standard deviation of $310. a. b. Which country has more variation in income? Explain using popular phrases, such as "gap between rich and poor." Each country defines the poverty level to be $755. If you assume that income has a normal distribution, find the probability that a household's income is below the poverty level in i. Country A ii.
