Stats

Refer to Figure 2.1. Several observations can be made without any in depth analysis:
· The graph is bimodal and seems almost to fluctuate periodically (Which is not surprising considering that most population data is periodic)
· The highest point (also indicated by Table 2.1) is 36% and the lowest, 32%
· From 1989 to 1993, there is a steep climb upwards, indicating a rising level in the number of poor people.
· From 1996 to the present moment, the percentage of the population occupied by poor individuals and families decreased steadily.

The final observation is the most important, though we will present another graph before any further analysis.

Similar to the previous graph, we now present Figure 2.2, detailing the percentage of the population occupied by the ‘rich’ from 1980 to 2001. We are able to clearly see these factors from the graph:
· The plot, like the previous plot seems almost periodic, falling and dropping once it reaches certain ma...
