i) Read Lisa Charlotte Muth’s Datawrapper Blog https://blog.datawrapper.de/prepare-and-clean-
up-data-for-data-visualization/
ii) Replicate her analysis for Life expectancy at birth, total (years), rather than Urban Population, and then use the Share function, to allow “anyone with the link” to access your Google Sheets spreadsheet, and then copy the link into your assignment as your answer to Question 2.
NOTE: For this question, you should label your Google Sheets spreadsheet Question 2. Also, in order to get the data for Life expectancy at birth, total (years), rather than for Urban Population, you will need to begin by entering “Life expectancy at birth, total (years)” in the search box on the World Bank website to replace “Urban Population”.

NOTE: In this endeavour, you should follow the advice on writing a précis given in the Wilfrid Laurier University article entitled “Writing a Précis” attached below.
