Comments on the assignment:
Question 1
Description in 1a is good. Graph in 1b is correct and labelled, but title is missing. Graph in 1c is correct
– very good, but title is missing and description lacks some information.
Question 2
Think about the meaning of the median in the question.
62092 is the figure of population, not the income.
Wrong Gini.
Question 3
The code to compute the correlation coefficient was not provided. The result was not provided.
