Definition:

Babies Per Woman: a sub unit of fertility rate, a calculation of average number of
babies there are per women in a certain country or area
Income Per Person: a different method of expressing the GDP, the average salary
that a person living in a certain country or area earns
Child Death (Newborn): a different measurement of child death rate, this focuses
on the average amount of child deaths (newborns) in a certain area or country
Murder Deaths: average number of deaths from murders in a certain area or
country
Literacy for Youth: a for of depicting the average amount of education, the
average amounts a youth in a certain country or area can read

Scatterplots:

Relation Between Murders and Babies Per Woman

http://bit.ly/1RMydeK
Description: Above is a scatterplot that displays that the number of murders in a
country has no correlation with the number of babies per woman in that same
country.
Relation Between Literacy Rate of Youth

http://bit.ly/1RMysGN
Description: This scatterplot displays the negative relation between the literacy
rate for youth and the amount of babies born per woman. In essence it displays that
as the literacy rate of youth increases, the number of babies per woman decreases.

The richest continents and countries are located in the bottom right corner, such as
Europe or North America because majority of the youth there have easy access to
school and education. Poorer countries/continents such as Ethiopia are mostly
located in the top left corner because it is harder for youth to get good education in
those countries, thus they are more likely to have a low literacy rate.
How Income Effects the Number of babies per woman in a Country

http://bit.ly/1V7apIm
Description: This is a scatterplot that shows the non linear relation between the
income per person and the number of babies per woman. Before generating this
graph, I had the idea that it would be a positive relation and that the richer
countries/Continents would be in the higher up on the graph. To my surprise,
countries with higher income had less babies per woman and countries with lower
income had more babies. I thought that it would be the opposite way because the
richer countries have individuals that earn more, thus being able to sustain and
support more children and a bigger family. Since the poorer countries have smaller
income the people would therefore most likely not be able to support more children
and therefore try to have a small amount of babies. I also found it interesting that a
country like China which practically 75% of our products come from has such a
small income rate, and the same with India.
The non linear correlation in this graph was very strong and as I went through the
graph a bit more I saw that the continents individually did not show as strong of a
correlation. The strongest continent correlation would be that of Asias as it followed
the basic correlation of the data. A country that is an exception to this basic curve is
Equatorial Guinea. Equatorial Guinea is a country from the continent of Africa, which
is majorly located in the op left corner of this graph, and it has the highest income
per person for an African country and it has a high amount of babies. Our basic
trend before was that the higher the income the less babies there are per woman,
but although EQUATORAL Guineas income is high the number of babies per woman

is also high. Overall I believe that the statistics in this graph are effected by the
geological location of the country. In countries that are more hot or have good
agricultural land, it is handier to have more kids as they can help collect water and
harvest or tend to crops. In countries live Canada where a lot of areas are advanced
and industrialized, the parents do not need as many kids and sometimes it becomes
more of a burden to have more kids in these areas than pleasures.

How deaths in newborns effect the number of babies per woman

http://bit.ly/1RMxMRJ
Description: This is a scatterplot that displays the positive relation between
causes of deaths in children (EX: failure of medical procedures, born illnesses,
viruses, and diseases) and the number of babies born per woman. Before
Generating this graph, I had the idea that this would be a positive relation
because if there are more newborns, then there would an increase in number
of deaths in newborns. The reason why the number of deaths is the
dependent variable and why the number of all causes death in newborns is
the Independent variable is because if the healthcare in a country is not very
advanced then there is a higher chance of kids dying and if the parents know
this then they try to have more kids so that more kids have the possibility of

surviving. Countries in Asia range around the middle, and lastly African
countries are located in the top right corner,
I find it interesting that countries such as Israel, which are not known to be
very advanced are some of the few red countries in the bottom left corner. I
found it shocking that they beat China who should have really good
healthcare and better lifestyle when compared to Israel due to the fact that
China is huge exporter for countries all over the world, thus they make lots of
money.
AS I WENT THROUGH THE GRAPH A BIT MORE, I SAW THAT THE WORLD
REGIONs Asia and Africa had a weak positive correlation. The strongest
correlation out of the two was the one that Asia had as it followed the basic
correlation of the data. Overall I believe that the statistics in this graph are
Affected by the geological location of the country. In countries that are more
hot or have good agricultural land, it is handier to have more kids as they can
help collect water and harvest or tend to crops. In countries live Canada
where a lot of areas are advanced and industrialized, the parents do not need
as many kids and sometimes it becomes more of a burden to have more kids
in these areas than A pleasure.
