# Experiment 4: Population Size


## Description
In this experiment we compared 4 different population sizes (1k, 2k, 5k, 10k) with an unmitigated epidemic to determine whether there was a significant difference in disease propogation. We start the simulation with 1% of the population initially infected, and run it for 30 days.

## Analysis / Outcome
1k population appears to have a higher amount of noise than larger population sizes, but the other three values appear to cluster tightly together within .2%. This indicates that population size does not have a strong effect on the proportion of the population infected after 30 days. That's a good thing and as we expected!
