AQUANTITATIVE INDICATOR SHOWING THE DEGREE OF OF DIFFERENT INCOME DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS IS a. consumer price index b. Gini coefficient c. Lorenz curve d. supply curve

The is b. Gini coefficient.<br /><br />The Gini coefficient, also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio, is a quantitative measure that shows the degree of income inequality or distribution within a population. It ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 represents perfect equality (everyone has the same income) and 1 represents perfect inequality (one person has all the income, and everyone else has none).<br /><br />The other options are not directly related to income distribution:<br /><br />a. Consumer price index (CPI) measures the average change in prices of a basket of goods and services over time, indicating inflation.<br /><br />c. Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of income or wealth distribution, showing the cumulative percentage of total income received against the cumulative percentage of population.<br /><br />d. Supply curve represents the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied, indicating how much of a product is available at different price levels.
