Data Management and Visualization Assignment 1
After looking through the codebook for the gapminder study, I have decided that I am particularly interested in employment rates.
It strikes me that unemployment is an issue that many countries face, regardless of their existing policies or economic situation.
I decide that I am most interested in exploring the association between employment rate and life expectancy.
Coursera data set selected: gapminder study
Research question: Is there an association between employment rate and life expectancy?
Hypothesis: Higher employment rates are associated with higher life expectancy
