Data Comparison As part of a statistics course, I decided to compare two pieces of data, in order to prove or refute my theory: "The position of a country in the Commonwealth Games varies depending on the population of that country "My theory is that a country's position in events such as the Olympics or the Commonwealth Games is proportional to the size of its population. I say this because I believe that if a country has a large population, there will be more potential athletes to choose from. I'm doing this because I'd be really interested to know if this theory is true or not, and I believe it's a Also, I'm comparing the results from the Commonwealth Games, instead of something as famous as the Olympic Games, because the Commonwealth Games are dominated by countries with very different traditions and cultures. Conversely, the countries that dominate the Olympic Games are countries like France, England or Germany, and are all countries that live a very Western lifestyle similar to ours.

I will use the most recent games - 2002, 1998 and 1994. I will do this, because the data collected during these three games will contain the data of each of the participating countries, because in the first games from 1930, only a fraction of the countries that are entering have now entered.
