A graph is used to illustrate the distribution of income in a country. The horizontal axis shows the cumulative percentage of the population, ordered from lowest to highest income. The vertical axis shows the corresponding cumulative percentage of the total national income. If a point on this graph is located at (80, 45), what does this signify?
A point located at (30, 10) on a graph plotting cumulative population percentage against cumulative income percentage signifies that the wealthiest 30% of the population holds 10% of the total income.
