Analyze the graph below and answer the question that follows. Analyze the size of the largest cities in Brazil, as shown on the graph above. Does Brazil follow rank-size distribution?

Answer:

Yes, Brazil follows the rank-size distribution approximately. São Paulo, the largest city, has more than 11 million people; Rio de Janeiro has about half as many, and Salvador about one-third as many. The populations of the lower-ranked cities generally continue to decrease, though not in exact proportion to their ranks.
