This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com.
When you click the Knit button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:
summary(cars)
## speed dist
## Min. : 4.0 Min. : 2.00
## 1st Qu.:12.0 1st Qu.: 26.00
## Median :15.0 Median : 36.00
## Mean :15.4 Mean : 42.98
## 3rd Qu.:19.0 3rd Qu.: 56.00
## Max. :25.0 Max. :120.00
You can also embed plots, for example:
Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the
code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the
plot.

Prompt and question: calculate the average for the variable ‘happy’ for the country of Norway. On average, based on the ESS data, who reports higher levels of happiness: Norway or Belgium?
Note: we already did it for Belgium. You just need to compare to Norway’s average, making sure to provide the code for both.

filter(cntry == "BE") %>%

Belgium = 7.74, Norway = 7.98, thur norway reports slightly higher happiness
Task 2: Provide code and answer.
Prompt and question: what is the most common category selected, for Irish respondents, for frequency of binge drinking? The variable of interest is: alcbnge.
More info here: https://ess-search.nsd.no/en/variable/0c65116e-7481-4ca6-b1d9-f237db99a694.
Hint: need to convert numeric value entries to categories as specified in the variable information link. We did similar steps for Estonia and the climate change attitude variable.

Task 3: Provide code and answer.
Prompt and question: when you use the summary() function for the variable plnftr (about planning for future or taking every each day as it comes from 0-10) for both the countries of Portugal and Serbia, what do you notice? What stands out as different when you compare the two countries (note: look up the variable information on the ESS website to help with interpretation)? Explain while referring to the output generated.

Task 5: Prompt: Interpret the boxplot graph of stfedu and stfhlth that we generated already: according to ESS data, would we say that the median French person is more satisfied with the education system or health services? Explain.
Change the boxplot graph: provide the code to change some of the key labels: (1) Change the title to: Boxplot of satisfaction with the state of education vs. health services; (2) Remove the x-axis label; (3) Change the y-axis label to: Satisfaction (0-10).
