Abstract |
|
|
| This paper investigates the relationship between GDP and the population of a country, the total length of rail lines and the total area. It makes intuitive sense that these variables should all have a relationship with the total gross output of a country (GDP). However, this paper will examine the extent of this association. After having conducted a pilot study of 15 randomly selected countries, it became clear that there exists some form of positive relationship. Through the use of various statistical methods, it turns out that there is a stronger positive correlation between the population and total rail lines of a country and its GDP than the total area. |
