Capstone Project: Life Expectancy and GDP Data

Here is my first #DataScience post! It visualizes the data with respect to Life Expectancy, GDP and Country in various ways. All the data visualization was done by me as I complete my #Codecademy boot camp during quarantine! This first graph is a violin plot that shows the distribution of Life Expectancy at Birth by Country. It is what you would expect, where the further developed countries have a much higher average life expectancy than the Zimbabwe. This bar graph shows the GDP by Country and the years are distinguishable by color. This graph tells us many things, but most importantly that LE (life expectancy) is not directly correlated with GDP. Chile which has a significantly lower GDP than China has on average higher LE. This graph shows the LE by Country, supports the fact that GDP is a correlation of high LE not a causation. Other factors such as culture, diet and lifestyle can be said to have a more of a causation effect than GDP. Ie. China has a massive spike in GDP
