Comparing Data As a piece of Statistics coursework, I have decided to compare two items of data, in order to prove, or disprove my theory: "A country's position in the Commonwealth games varies accordingly to that country's population size." My theory is that a country's position in something such as the Olympics or Commonwealth Games is proportional to that country's population size.
