In 2016, the World Health Organization estimated that the average life expectancy at birth worldwide was 72 years[1]. (This includes all countries of the world, not just the countries in the sample.)
Complete the steps below to carry out a one-mean hypothesis test to test the claim that the average life expectancy has increased beyond the global average using a 5% significance level.
Let mean = the average life expectancy of a person at birth (globally).
Test Statistic:
p-value:

1) Hypothesis -
H0 : mu = 72 vs. H1 : mu > 72
2) Test Statistics =5.859
P value = 0
3) Decision - Reject H0 if p value < 0.05
4) Conclusion- Average life expectancy has increased beyond the global average. PL??
