canadap

Refer to the previous exercise. The three Canadian territories are the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the Yukon Territories. All of the other entries in the data set are provinces.

  1. Generate a scatterplot of the Canadian demographic data similar to the one that you made in the previous exercise but with the points labeled “P” for provinces and “T” for territories (or some other way if that is easier to do with your software.)
  2. Use your new scatterplot to write a new summary of the demographics for the 13 Canadian provinces and territories.

(b) The three territories have smaller percentages of the population over 65 than any of the provinces. Additionally two of the three territories have larger percentages of the population under 15 than any of the provinces.
