Use the drop-down menus to create statements that are consistent with the information presented.
 

For individuals at the 99th percentile of the per capita consumption distribution, the probability of having moved within the past 10 years for rural India is [Dropdown Placeholder #1] that for urban India.

The range of the probability of having moved within the past 10 years for urban India is [Dropdown Placeholder #2] that for rural India.­

­The graphs show the probability of moving of different sections of people in rural and urban India. The individuals have been divided into 7 sections (10th percentile of PCC, 20th percentile of PCC etc) and their probabilities are given. 
So in Urban India, probability of moving is 0.06 for '10th percentile of PCC individuals.' (for this group). For  99th percentile of PCC group, it is about 0.2 etc.

For individuals at the 99th percentile of the per capita consumption distribution, the probability of having moved within the past 10 years for rural India is ____ that for urban India.

For rural India, at the '99th percentile of PCC' probability of moving is about 0.06.
For urban India, at the '99th percentile of PCC' probability of moving is about 0.2.
Hence for rural India, it is less. 
ANSWER - less than

The range of the probability of having moved within the past 10 years for urban India is ____ that for rural India.­

The range for urban India is about 0.2 - 0.06 = .14
The range for rural India is about .07 - .015 = .055
The range for urban India is much greater.
ANSWER - greater than

How can the range be defined here, if we do not know the probability of 0%ile and 100%ile person in those regions?
