Ⅲ. Only two of the countries had a higher savings rate than Italy.
(A) Ⅰ only
(B) Ⅱ only
(C) Ⅲ only
(D) Ⅰand Ⅱ
(E) Ⅱ and Ⅲ
Ⅰ. On the average, people in the United States saved about the same amount as people in the United KingdomWe cannot say, as we are unaware of the number of people in both the countries
NOTE: The data provided is for Saving Rate NOT the Savings
Ⅱ. The median of the savings rates for the eight countries was greater than 11 percentMedian value would be the average of 4th and 5th term from all terms (arranged in ascending order)
i.e. average of SR of Spain and Canada ≈ \([m]11 + 13/2\) ≈ 12[/m]
Ⅲ. Only two of the countries had a higher savings rate than ItalyClearly, Switzerland and Japan are those 2 countries
Hence, option E
