Ans: D.
Explanation: Lorenz curve of Australia is very far away (and bowed out) from perfect equality straight line showing higher inequality. This implies few % of population have high% of income.

3. The Gini Index Problem How is possible to measure the distribution of income among the inhabitants of a given country One such measure is the Gini index, named after the Italian economist Corrado Gini, who first devised it in 1912. We first rank all households in a country by income and then we compute the percentage of households whose income is at most a given percentage of the country's total income. We define a Lorenz Curve y L(x) on...

- 4 marks) In economics, a population's Lorenz curve L(2) gives the percentage (as a decimal) of the country's distribution of wealth among the lowest earning percentage 2 (as a decimal between 0 and 1; e.g., 35% means x = 0.35) of the population. As an example, if L(0.4) = 0.1, then this means that the lowest earning 40% of households have only 10% of the entire economy's wealth. The line y =...
