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). The accompanying table shows a portion of data on a respondent's age and his/her perception of well-being on a scale from 0 to 100.
Age................... Happiness
49.............................. 62
51.............................. 66
