To determine which country from the list (the Czech Republic or Moldova) has the highest levels of different metrics (per capita GDP, life expectancy, and fertility rate), we follow these steps:
1. Analyzing Per Capita GDP:
- Per capita GDP values are: \[tex]$54,600, \$[/tex]2,500, \[tex]$25,600, and \$[/tex]15,900.
- The highest per capita GDP is \[tex]$54,600.
2. Analyzing Life Expectancy:
- Life expectancy values are: 80, 71, 77, and 66 years.
- The highest life expectancy is 80 years.
3. Analyzing Fertility Rate:
- Fertility rate values are: 1.8, 1.3, 1.3, and 1.4.
- The lowest fertility rate is 1.3. Note that there are two countries with the same fertility rate of 1.3.
After comparing these values:
- The country with the highest per capita GDP (\$[/tex]54,600) is indexed first.
- The country with the highest life expectancy (80 years) is indexed first.
- The country with one of the lowest fertility rates (1.3) is indexed second.
Given the answers:
- Highest per capita GDP index is 0 (the first country in the list).
- Highest life expectancy index is 0 (the first country in the list).
- Lowest fertility rate index is 1 (the second country in the list).
Thus, the outcomes are:
- The Czech Republic has the highest per capita GDP (\$54,600).
- The Czech Republic has the highest life expectancy (80 years).
- Moldova has one of the lowest fertility rates (1.3).
Therefore:
- For the highest per capita GDP and the highest life expectancy, the answer is A. the Czech Republic.
- For one of the lowest fertility rates, the answer is B. Moldova.
