Honestly really interesting. Some not so surprising (North Dakota, Michigan, NC all very high) and some quite surprising (NH, ID, AK fairly high up, CA and TX pretty far down) results. Now what I would want to see is if there really is a correlation between this and recent nats results for the states.Unome wrote:I was bored, so I decided to compare the number of Science Olympiad teams in each state in 2017 to the state's population - a relative measure showing how the state's SO size compares to it's population (out of the total number of teams in the US/total population of the US). The numerical value is the ratio between the two.

I just found out that in 2010 my school placed 15th at nationals despite getting dead last (61 points) in 3 different events. If they had been able to average even a mere 36th in each of those events, they would have moved up to 10th place (would have been our school's first time getting a top-10 trophy at nats). Fun fact -- the previous year we tied for 10th and lost the tiebreaker (ended up with 11th). So still no nats trophy. 
Here's the kicker: The school we tied with? That was Mira Loma.
Edit: nevermind lol

I was thrown off by the fact that there were 5 trial events.
