How are infant mortality rates connected to life expectancy?

Well if an infant dies at 1 year and a senior citizen dies at 81. That would make the average life expectancy rate 40.

Every infant that dies drags the averages down.

If you die as an infant your life expectancy is low... :P sorry, I had to do it!
