system would also be more difficult to implement, as there is the additional process of allocating a carbon emission allowance. Increasing the gasoline tax is also not as effective as the carbon tax.

To describe this spread, a number of statistics are available, which are range, quartiles, absolute deviation, variance and standard deviation. Units of Enumeration These are units which data is collected in terms production of cloth - meters, weight-tons, time - hours. Units of collection and Enumeration are of three types. a) Single units : it represents single…
