Identify the five largest cities within
each country: Oslo, Akershus, Hordaland, Rogaland, Sør-Trøndelag
Identify the population of the
largest city: 634,463
Use the “rank size rule” to identify
the estimated size of each of the
next four largest cities (city #2 is ½
the size of city #1, city #3 is 1/3 the
size of city #1, city #4 is ¼ the size
of #1, city #5 is 1/5 the size of #1): 317232, 211488, 158616, 126893
Identify the actual populations of
the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th largest cities: 575,757, 505,246, 459,625, 306,197
Compose a well-developed
paragraph defending to what extent
the “rank size rule” is proven valid
or invalid based upon the
populations of this country’s five
largest cities: The rank size rule based on the population of Norway shows that the rank size rule is invalid for Norway. For all values of the cities following the 1st largest population, the estimated value and the actual value differ by a large margin. This shows that the rank size rule is invalid, due to the fact that the predicted values are too far from the actual values.
