- Example 4 (Part 1) One of the datasets in the Lock book contains information about 215 countries of the world. One of the variables is the percentage of people in the country who have access to the internet. We have data for 203 of those countries. The plot on the right shows a dotplot of the data. 1. What are the cases? Population n = 203, mean = 43.024 median = 43.5, stdev = 29.259 20 2. What does each dot on the dotplot represent? 15 10 5 20 40 43.024 60 80 3.
