Life Expectancy Infant Mortality Rate and Per Capita Gross N

Life Expectancy, Infant Mortality Rate, and Per Capita Gross National Income by Selected Using Table 1, calculate the mean life expectancy for the nine countries. 7 points From Table 1, what is the median infant mortality rate for the nine countries? 7 points

Solution

1. Mean Life expectancy for the nine countries = Total life expectancy / Number of countries

= 78.4+73.8+79.4+76.3+75.6+73+32.4+40.1+65.9/ 9

= 594.9/9 = 66.1 years

2. Median Infant mortality rate for the nine countries = Infant mortality rate of 5th country as number of countries are odd.

Therefore, it is 19.4 deaths per 1,000 births.
