Question
Chapter 14R, Problem 22MCQ
To determine
The Lorenz curve for Equalville when everyone in the state earns the same income.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 22MCQ
From the available options, the correct option is straight and upward-sloping.
Explanation of Solution
When every person in Equalville earns the same income, then the Lorenz curve would be straight and upward-sloping because there is equal distribution of income in the state. And, when the income distribution is more equal, the Lorenz curve would be a straight line at 45 degrees which slopes upward. Therefore, this curve would not deliver a downward, flat, or circular slope on the graph. Here, the correct option is d (straight and upward-sloping), and all options: a, b, c, and e are incorrect.
Economics Concept Introduction
Introduction: The Lorenz curve shows the graphical representation of inequality in income and inequality in wealth which was developed by Max Lorenz.

With this notation, 2.3045 Q would be a double flush since every card is a diamond and a heart. • Wild Cards: A wild card counts as having every suit and every denomination. Denote wild cards with a W; if there are multiple, we will denote them W₁, W2, etc. With this notation, W2 20.30054 would be both a three-of-a-kind (three 2's) and a flush (5 diamonds).

- In a classic oil-drilling example, you are trying to decide whether to drill for oil on a field that might or might not contain any oil. Before making this decision, you have the option of hiring a geologist to perform some seismic tests and then predict whether there is any oil or not. You assess that if there is actually oil, the geologist will predict there is oil with probability 0.85 . You also assess that if there is no oil, the geologist will predict there is no oil with probability 0.90. Please answer the two questions below, as I am trying to ensure that I am correct. 1.
