[quote=WCTMAN,312150]I took the same approach with my students when they were gloating recently over the number of medals won by China vs those won by Canada ( which has zero as of this writing ). I argued that the total number of medals is not the true measure, and that we should focus instead on the MPP, which is Medal Count / Population, or Medals Per Person. If China should finish with roughly 80 medals ( of any color ), then Canada needs to win only 2, since China has 40 times the population haha. My students are in first year university, and so the concept of MPP started a rollicking debate haha. Even the shyer, quieter ones were digging for the right words so that they could join the discussion. [/quote]
