▶️ Total olympic medals per 1k $GDP per capita - Paris 2024 - represented in the Tukey's boxplot 🏅

@dataisbeautiful

Is the highest number, relative to $GDP per capita, best? Outliers marked as circles. Made in #LabPlot, an open-source data analysis and visualization software.

Edit: the problem is framed as a question.

EDIT: for some context on the problems this creates

These have been engineered to grow so incredibly fast, and their bodies just cannot handle it.” > >Jackson said secret filming at broiler farms supplying big supermarkets has shown birds struggling to walk or collapsing under their own weight, or dying from heart failure, and dead birds were filmed lying among the flocks. > > [...] > > Andrew Knight, a professor of animal welfare and ethics at the University of Winchester, said: “With these really rapid growth rates, it can be difficult for the heart and circulatory system to keep up with the expanding body mass. A proportion of these animals suffer from heart failure. It’s also difficult for the bones, ligaments and tendons to keep up with the rapidly increasing body mass, meaning that a proportion of these birds become severely lame [inability to walk properly].”
