Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

a. The distribution of income became more equal in 2016. The Lorenz Curve for 2016 is closer to the diagonal line of equality than is the Lorenz Curve for 2015.
b. The Gini Coefficient = (the area inside the Lorenz Curve)/(the area beneath the diagonal line of equality). Thus, for 2015, the Gini Coefficient = A + B/(A + B + C) = 1,800 /5,000 = 0.36. For 2016, the Gini Coefficient = (A)/(A + B + C) = 1,600 /5,000 = 0.32.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
