The scatter plot shows the percentage change in median personal income for residents in 30 U.S. states from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010. The y-axis represents the percentage change in median income from 2008 to 2009, and the x-axis represents the percentage change in median income from 2009 to 2010.
For each statement, select the option from the drop-down menu that completes the statement as accurately as possible according to the information provided.

It should be B and A.
1. B) because it's simply (number of points in top right quadrant) / (total number of points).
2. A) because value is ~10 which is less than ~15.

A nice and simple question. In first part, we just need to count the number of states that had positive x&y axis to a total of 30 states. In second part, count positive x dots and positive y dots. It asks whether positive X dots are >/=/< the positive y dots.
