To determine the appropriate conclusion based on the table provided, we need to analyze the earnings from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the year 2007. Here are the listed amounts:
- Commodities purchased from businesses: 703 million dollars
- Income paid to households: 1.1 billion dollars
- Total direct income: 1.8 billion dollars
The question is whether commodities purchased from businesses constitute less than or more than half of the total direct income, and if it represents the primary or only source of revenue.
Let's determine half of the total direct income.
1. Convert the total direct income into a consistent unit. Since 1.8 billion dollars is 1800 million dollars:
[tex]\[
\text{Total direct income} = 1800 \text{ million dollars}
\][/tex]
2. Calculate half of the total direct income:
[tex]\[
\frac{1800 \text{ million dollars}}{2} = 900 \text{ million dollars}
\][/tex]
3. Compare the commodities purchased from businesses to the calculated half value:
[tex]\[
703 \text{ million dollars} < 900 \text{ million dollars}
\][/tex]
The analysis shows that the commodities purchased from businesses (703 million dollars) is less than half of the total direct income (900 million dollars). Therefore, based on the given information:
- Commodities purchased from businesses (703 million dollars) make up less than half of Florida's total direct income from the Kennedy Space Center.
The correct conclusion is:
- Commodities purchased from businesses make up less than half of Florida's total direct income from the Kennedy Space Center.
