Does Social Progress Relate To Happiness?

Project 1: Nick Buller, Kerry Harp, Sofanit Mengesha, Christopher Pope

Hypothesis

There is a positive relationship (correlation) between the Happiness Score and the Social Progress Index (score).

• We assume "Basic Human Needs" is the greatest Social Progress indicator that predicts Happiness.

• We assume "Healthy Life Expectancy" is the greatest Happiness indicator that predicts Social Progress Score

• We assume a high population density correlates to high scores in both SP and HS.
