    Interpreting Statistics
    Statistics can tell us many things about a country or a society. Generally by combining several statistics we
    can learn greater detail. Use the data table linked here but also on CANVAS to answer the following
    questions about the relationship between statistics. Resist the easy short answer and really think about
    how you can explain yourself in your responses..

    Relationships between statistics:


    1. Based on the data, what appears to be the relationship between GDP per capita and HDI? (I’ll help you
    on the first one).

    When GDP is high, HDI tends to be ____________________.


    Why do you think this relationship exists?

    2. What appears to be the relationship between Life Expectancy and Infant Mortality Rate?

    Why do you think this relationship exists?

    3. What appears to be the relationship between GDP per capita and either Literacy Rate or School Life
    Expectancy?

    Why do you think this relationship exists?

    4. What appears to be the relationship between GDP per capita and Internet Use?

    Why do you think this relationship exists?


    5. What appears to be the relationship between GDP per capita and the percentage of the labor force
    working in agriculture?

    Why do you think this relationship exists?

    6. Other than per capita GDP, what do the wealthiest countries seem to have in common? What do the
    least wealthy countries have in common? Your answer should include several statistics for each
    group.

    7. Look at population growth rate. What is the relationship between population growth rate and GDP per
    capita? What do you think causes this relationship?

    What do the countries with negative growth rates have in common?

    8. Civil war has raged in Syria since 2011, and more than 5 million Syrians have fled the country since the
    war began. As of January 2019, the Syrian government has regained control of most of the country
    and contained the rebels to one province, located near the Turkish border. Look at the data for Syria in
    the table, and explain how one of its statistics is affected by the recent conflict.

    Go back to the data chart. Highlight the names of the developing countries in yellow, and leave the
    names of the developed countries.

    Summary and application:


    9. Imagine that you needed to move to another country in the world and that you were using this chart to
    decide which one. What sorts of things would you be looking for in deciding where to move? Why?

    10. What other information would you need or want to know about a place before deciding to move there
    that is not provided in this chart?
