Exploring world life expectancy

  • life_exp: contains the life expectancy of each country in 2010 sourced from the Gapminder foundation
  • continents: contains a mapping between each country and the continent(s) they are part of built from information provided by Countries-ofthe-World.com.

Your goal this time is to calculate the average life expectancy across countries within each continent.
