(iv)

The Human Development Index (HDI) is another indicator of development.
Tick () the four correct statements about HDI in the table below.

 

	tick ()
All countries with high HDI have small populations.
HDI figures are measured per 1000 of the population.
HDI is a composite indicator of development.
HDI is the same as GDP per person.
HDI scores for every country are between 0 and 1.
Most people who live in a country with a high HDI will be poor.
Many people who live in a country with a low HDI will not have completed secondary education.
The lower the HDI, the shorter the life expectancy is likely to be.
There will be more people per doctor where HDI is higher.
