Answer: FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms life span and life expectancy are NOT interchangeable and DO NOT virtually mean the same thing. A life span is ideal the duration of life (from birth to death) for an individual being. Life expectancy is the averaged data for the life span for multiple human beings (often an average by a demographic such as gender, race/ethnicity, age range, country, etc.).
