Explanation:

Gini coefficient is a measure of the inequality devised by the Italian statistician Corrado Gini. It is normally used to measure income inequality, within a country, but it can be used to measure any form of unequal distribution. The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds to perfect equality (all have the same income) and where the value 1 corresponds to perfect inequality (one person has all income and none others ). The Gini index is the Gini coefficient expressed in reference to a maximum of 100, instead of 1, and is equal to the Gini coefficient multiplied by 100. A variation of two cents of the Gini coefficient (or two units of the index) is equivalent to a distribution of 7% of wealth from the poorest sector of the population (below the median) to the richest (above the median).
