Answer:
Explanation:
It is a statistical figure and the statistic “Life expectancy at birth” actually denotes to the average number of years a new born baby is expected to be alive assuming mortality patterns at the time of the birth of the baby remain constant in the future years.
Otherwise, and in other words, it looks at the number of people of different ages dying in that year, and provides a snapshot of overall “mortality rate” that year for the population.
