Exercise 24

The following table shows an example of gross domestic product values for five countries from 2005 to 2010 in equivalent U.S. dollars ($).

a. How could you improve the readability of this table
b. The file GdPyears contains sample data from the United Nations Statistics Division on 30 countries and their GDP values from 2005 to 2010 in U.S. dollars ($). Create a table that provides all these data for a user. Format the table to make it as easy to read as possible.
Hint: It is generally not important for the user to know GDP to an exact dollar figure. It is typical to present GDP values in millions or billions of dollars.
