We wanted to compare the death rates in Virginia between rural and urban communities in the year 1940. Although the data is older, it still acts as a historical reference point for comparing death rates between the two types of communities. We used the "VADeaths" dataset that is in R. We are using hypothesis testing to see see if the mean death rate in urban communities is greater than or not greater than the rural mean death rate. This will be a right tailed test, and the level of significance will be .05.
