7. 2013 CHILD MORTALITY AVERAGES &
ADULT LITERACY RATES PER COUNTRY
Average male literacy: 39.19
Average femaleliteracy: 30.38
Variance between them: .1626
if there was no variance =0

8. 2013 CHILD MORTALITY AVERAGES COMPARED TO
ADULT LITERACY RATES PER COUNTRY

9. WHY ARE THERE EXTREME OUTLIERS?
Possible Factors
• War/Crime
• Access to healthcare
• Child Labor
• Chad: 138.4 average child
mortality, 35 total adult literacy

11. SO WHAT?
• African countries had the highest rates
of child mortality
• Both countries:
• are in Africa
• had high child mortalityrates and low
