4. Which of the following statements about the Gini coefficient is true:

The Gini coefficient will change if the incomes of all members of the population are doubled.

Suppose person A earns $100 and person B earns $50. If the researcher mistakenly records the incomes as A earns $50 and B earns $100, then the Gini coefficient will increase.

Total inequality measured by the Gini coefficient accounts for, both, between-group and within-group inequality.

If we transfer a part of the income of the rich to the poor, the Gini coefficient would decrease.
