I would say that the rank size rule is valid overall in predictions on the population's of Jamaica's cities. It shows a similarity between the estimates and actual populations. It's valid, because it was the only results showing some similarity of my four countries so far. I also think it's valid since it's location is in the same hemisphere as the U.S. That is why I think it's proven valid.
