Band 9 Answer

The table compares the number of mobile phone holders and personal computer owners per thousand people in six countries: Luxembourg, Italy, Singapore, Germany, South Korea, and China.

Overall, Luxembourg leads in both categories, whereas China has the lowest numbers. Additionally, mobile phone ownership does not always correlate with PC ownership, as seen in Germany and South Korea.

Luxembourg has the highest figures, with 872 mobile phone users and 900 PC owners per 1,000 people. Singapore follows with 684 mobile users and 690 PC owners. Italy has a relatively high mobile ownership rate of 737 per 1,000 people but a significantly lower PC ownership rate of 480.

Germany and South Korea have similar PC ownership rates (452 per 1,000 people), but Germany has a higher number of mobile holders (586 compared to South Korea’s 380). China reports the lowest figures in both categories, with only 35 mobile users and 88 PC owners per 1,000 people.

In summary, while Luxembourg and Singapore lead in both categories, other countries show varied trends where mobile and PC ownership do not always align.
