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).

1. State your Null and Alternative Hypothesis symbolically. (You may need to copy and paste symbols.)
2. Verify that the conditions of the one-mean hypothesis test are satisfied.

3. calculate the test statistic and p-value. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. Insert the results from the hypothesis test from StatCrunch in the space provided.

Test Statistic:

p-value:

4. Determine if you should Reject null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Use the significance level and your p-value to explain how you made your decision.

5. Using sentences, write your conclusion using the context of the problem.

The table shows the 2013 per capita total expenditure on health in 35 countries with the highest gross domestic product in that year. Health expenditure per capita is the sum of public and private heath expenditure (in PPP, international $) divided by population. Health expenditures include the provision of health services, family‑planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health but exclude the provision of water and sanitation.

Make a stemplot of the data after rounding to the nearest $100, so that stems are thousands of dollars and leaves are hundreds of dollars. Split the stems, placing leaves 0 to 4 on the first stem and leaves 5 to 9 on the second stem of the same value.

1) Which numbers are the leaves on the first stem associated with $3000?

A) 13

B) 22356889

C) 5689

D) 137

E) 12355789

F) 611

2) Describe the shape, center, and variability of the distribution.

3) Which country is the high outlier?

4) The distribution is _____, with a single high outlier (______ ). There seem to be two clusters of countries. The center of the distribution is about _______spent per capita. The distribution varies from about _________spent per capita to about _______spent per capita.
