Additional R notes for Activity 27-3: Televisions and Life Expectancy

We begin by reading in the file.

> TVlife = read.csv("/home/rebelsky/Stats115/Data/TVlife06.csv")

We determine the column names (and, along the way, learn a bit more about each variable).

> summary(TVlife)
      Country   Life.Expectancy   TVs.per.K    
 Angola   : 1   Min.   :38.45   Min.   :  5.0  
 Australia: 1   1st Qu.:59.70   1st Qu.: 87.0

 Egypt    : 1   Max.   :81.25   Max.   :844.0
