Many attempts have been made to relate happiness with various factors. One such study relates happiness with age and finds that holding everything else constant, people are least happy when they are in their mid-40s (The Economist, December 16, 2010). Data are collected on a respondent’s age and his/her perception of well-being on a scale from 0 to 100; the data is presented below. Age Happiness

Sample correlation coefficient=0.572

b)

Sample correlation coefficient=0.572 shows the moderate positive correlation between age and happiness. As the age increases happiness also moderately increases.

c)

The attached scatter plot shows that the as age increases happiness also moderately increases.

-4

step-by-step explanation:

do 6-10=

if u need it to be negative.

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.
