London+and+New+York

London/New York


 * Hypothesis**: I predict that New York and London will have very similar death rates, as they are both major metropolises even if in parts of the world. It is predicted that both will have a Type I late loss survival curve because as they are very advanced cities young death rates will be rare.

//Evaluation//: Both lines show similar curves, even as the London curve dips a bit in the 30s. However the over all hypothesis is proven correct as both London and New York have Type I curves, as more deaths occurred later in life, both London and New York had similar dips of death as well strongest in the 80s. The comparing of the survivorships would have been better and clearer if the death rates picked for the graph were more random and if a larger number of points were made instead of using just 50 lives.
