The U.S. Census Bureau uses money income thresholds to define poverty. For example, in 2018 the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children was $25,100. The bar graph represents the number of people living in poverty (in thousands) in the United States in 2017, by ethnicity.

(a) How many whites were living in poverty in 2017?

(b) Of the impoverished listed, what percent were Hispanic?

(c) How might this graph be misleading?
