From 1948 to 2003 the United States experienced an average real GDP growth rate of 3.5 percent and Guatemala had an average real GDP growth rate of 3.6 percent from 1993 to 2003. Can we say that Guatemala's standard of living grew more than the United States' standard of living from 1993 to 2003

No, we can’t say

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to decide if we can say that Guatemala’s standard of living grew more than that of the US’ standard of living between the years 1993 and 2003 given the pointers in the question.

We cannot say that this is correct because of the following reasons;

As observed from the question, the US growth rate was calculated between the years 1948-2003, which is indicative of a 55 year span. Now, comparing this with that of Guatemala, we can see that the span here is just 10 years I.e from 1993 to 2003.

Also, we were not provided with the population growth rate in both countries and this makes it difficult to judge which of the two countries have a better growth in terms of standard of living

the third answer is correct.
