Table 12 contains data regarding how all the counties in Nevada voted in the 2012 presidential election (Dem = Democrat, Rep = Republican), as well as the size of the county in terms of number of voters (Small = at most 10,000; Medium = 10,001 to 100,000; Large = over 100,000). Use Table 12 to construct the indicated distribution or graph for Exercises 11–22.
