Zambia 52 54 68.4 50.6 6.0 5.3

Formula used:

Let the data values be Xi’s.

The formula to calculate range is given by,

Range=High ScoreLow score

The formula to calculate mean is given by,

X¯=i=1NXiN

The formula to calculate standard deviation is given by,

s=(XiX¯)2N

Where, N is the population size.

Calculation:

Consider the data of life expectancy in the year 2010.

Arrange the data in the increasing order.

The data in increasing order is given by,

S. No Life Expectancy
1 52
2 52
3 69
4 71
5 72
6 75
7 76
8 78
9 79
10 81
11 82

The highest value is 82 and the lowest value is 52.

The range is given by,

Range=Highest valueLowest value

Substitute 82 for highest value and 52 for lowest value in the above mentioned formula,

Range=8252=30

The size of the population is 11.

The mean is given by,

X¯=i=1NXiN

Substitute 11 for N, 81 for X1, 75 for X2 and so on in the above mentioned formula,

X¯=81+75+...+5211=78711=71.54 ……(1)

Consider the following table of sum of squares,

(Xi) (XiX¯) (XiX¯)2
81 9.46 89.4916
75 3.46 11.9716
72 0.46 0.2116
79 7.46 55.6516
82 10.46 109.4116
52 19.54 381.8116
76 4.46 19.8916
71 0.54 0.2916
69 2.54 6.4516
78 6.46 41.7316
52 19.54 381.8116
(XiX¯)=0 (XiX¯)2=1098.728

From equation (1), substitute 81 for X1 and 71.54 for X¯ in (X1X¯).

(X1X¯)=(8171.54)(X1X¯)=9.46

Square the both sides of the equation.

(X1X¯)2=(9.46)2(X1X¯)2=89.4916

Proceed in the same manner to calculate (XiX¯)2 for all the 1iN for the rest data and refer table for the rest of the (XiX¯)2 values calculated. Then the value of (XiX¯)2 is calculated as,

(XiX¯)2=89.4916+11.9716+...+381.8116=1098.728 ……(2)

The standard deviation is given by,

s=(XiX¯)2N

From equation (2), substitute 1098.728 for (XiX¯)2 and 11 for N in the above mentioned formula,

s=1098.72811=99.884339.99

Thus, standard deviation of life expectancy in the year 2010 is 9.99.

80 6.37 40.5769
54 19.63 385.3369
(XiX¯)=0 (XiX¯)2=954.5459

From equation (3), substitute 82 for X1 and 73.63 for X¯ in (X1X¯).

(X1X¯)=(8273.63)(X1X¯)=8.37

Square the both sides of the equation.

(X1X¯)2=(8.37)2(X1X¯)2=70.0569

Proceed in the same manner to calculate (XiX¯)2 for all the 1iN for the rest data and refer table for the rest of the (XiX¯)2 values calculated. Then the value of (XiX¯)2 is calculated as,

(XiX¯)2=70.0569+5.6169+...+385.3369=954.5459 ……(4)

The standard deviation is given by,

The mean life expectancy in the year 2010 is 71.54 and in the year 2020 it is 73.63, on an average the life expectancy of the nations has increased over the ten year period. The standard deviation of life expectancy decreased in the ten year duration, there is less variability in 2020 as compared to year 2010. The mean infant mortality rate of year 2010 is more than the year 2020, the number of infant deaths has decreased during the time period. The mean fertility rate of year 2010 is 2.65 and in year 2020 it is 2.45, the number of children born has decreased between the years. The nations are becoming more diverse.
