African American and American

Hypothesis: I predict that African Americans would have a lower life rate then Americans as many of them live in poor parts of the US. Both of the population would be a Type 1 late loss survivor curve.

Evaluate: The data shows that my hypothesis were wrong and that there was not that much difference. Therefore the place and the way the two populations live doesn't affect them much. Even though one might be living in a much better and safer area then other, their life expectancy is still the same.

Limitation: - Because there are equal males and females, it could affect the result, as in some places females live longer then males and vise-verse. - Only those who can afford to put a obituary are in these results. - There could have been a big disease that could have killed alot of people.
