→Description
In this [[group]], a majority would consist of more than half the total [[number]] of [[athletes]], or 21 athletes. The group of all ball sport players together (15 football players + 6 table tennis players = 21) comprise a majority. However, football players, 15 in number, comprise a plurality, not a majority. In British English usage, football players would be described as having a majority of 5 (15 - 10) over sprinters, no [[individual]] sport has an absolute majority or an overall majority, and ball players have an overall majority of 2 (21 - 19) over the other sports.
