Correctly Reading Data Table Is Important

Correctly reading data table is important. Table 13.1 has been included below. Please answer questions using this table.

-When one analyzes the data in Table 13.1, it reveals that there is a possibility that a Disparity Chain which began before the War Between the States may have continued in a way that affects life expectancy today. What patterns in Table 13.1 would support the described thesis?

A) There is nothing in the Table that can be used to support such a thesis.
B) The Table reveals disparities in life expectancy between Southern and Northern states since a greater proportion of southern states had live expectancies below the mean for the country in 2014.
C) The thesis is unsupported because southern states are also represented among those states with the highest life expectancy.
D) Too little information exists regarding the north and south's history to speculate on this hypothesis.
