After reading the article we made this #boxplot using #LabPlot, an open source data analysis and visualization software.

The plot doesn’t provide answers, it rather invites some thinking.

    Nope, I think both countries have more people than it would be possible to evaluate, also that’s population not living standards, also training has more to do with it than the individual initially picked also the amount of money it takes to train an athlete is such a small percentage of either country’s GDP that money just doesn’t matter either,

    All that together plus the plethora of other variables makes this correlation not causation.

      @stupidcasey @stupidcasey so you really seriously think based on that above chart that US and then China are the ‘best performing’ countries and the fact that they have a huge population has nothing to do with it???

        No I don’t, that chart is the human development index. Why would I draw a conclusion about population from a chart about human development index? They have nothing in common.
