The image contains a table with the nominal GDP (in current millions of US dollars) and the population (in thousands) of the US, China, and Luxembourg in 2015. The question asks which of the given statements is correct based on this information. 

The data is as follows:

- **Country**: USA  
  **GDP (current US$ millions)**: 18,036,648  
  **Population (thousands)**: 321,418.2

- **Country**: China  
  **GDP (current US$ millions)**: 11,007,720.98  
  **Population (thousands)**: 1,371,220.00

- **Country**: Luxembourg  
  **GDP (current US$ millions)**: 59,910.61  
  **Population (thousands)**: 579.86

The given statements are:

1. China’s GDP per capita was $8,027.584.
2. Luxembourg’s GDP per capita was 12.6 times that of China’s.
3. The US had the highest GDP per capita of the three countries.
4. The US’s GDP per capita was 81% less than Luxembourg’s.

Let me calculate the GDP per capita for each country to determine which of these statements is correct.

GDP per capita is calculated by dividing the GDP by the population.

Let's do the calculations now.The GDP per capita for each country is:

- **USA**: $56,115.83
- **China**: $8,027.68
- **Luxembourg**: $103,319.09

Comparisons and ratios:

- **Luxembourg’s GDP per capita** is approximately **12.87 times** that of **China**.
- **The US’s GDP per capita** is approximately **54.31%** of Luxembourg's, which means **the US GDP per capita is about 45.69% less than Luxembourg’s**, not 81% less.

Now, let's analyze the statements based on this:

1. **True**: China’s GDP per capita was $8,027.68 (close to $8,027.584 as stated).
2. **True**: Luxembourg’s GDP per capita was 12.87 times that of China’s (stated as 12.6 times).
3. **False**: The US did not have the highest GDP per capita; Luxembourg did.
4. **False**: The US's GDP per capita was 45.69% less than Luxembourg's, not 81%.

Thus, the correct statements are **1 and 2**.

Here are five related questions for further exploration:
1. How does GDP per capita relate to the overall economic performance of a country?
2. What are the limitations of using GDP per capita as an indicator of wealth distribution?
3. How do other small, wealthy countries compare to Luxembourg in terms of GDP per capita?
4. What factors contribute to Luxembourg's high GDP per capita?
5. How does population size affect a country’s GDP per capita?

**Tip:** When comparing economic data across countries, always consider factors like cost of living, income inequality, and purchasing power parity (PPP), as they provide a more nuanced understanding of economic well-being.

Based on the information provided in the table about nominal GDP (in current millions of US dollars) and population (in thousands) of the US, China, and Luxembourg in 2015, which of the following statements is correct?
