Using the following data from 5 states, we are asked to investigate the hypothesis that the number of doctors per capita in a state influences life expectancy (note this is not formal hypothesis testing, as we're not doing a test of statistical significance, but we can still interpret results as being consistent with a hypothesis, or not). Specifically, we're interested in whether the numbe of medical doctors per 1000 state residents impact the average lifespan for these states.
