Go to the shared posit.cloud workspace for this class and open the assign08 project. Open the assign08.qmd file and complete the exercises.
The Grades.sqlite file is preloaded into your working directory. In case there are any issues, you can also download it if you need to. It is up to you how much you want to do directly in SQL versus using R to complete the exercises below. Note: you will receive deductions for not using tidyverse syntax when applicable in this assignment. That includes the use of filter, mutate, and the up-to-date pipe operator |>.
The Grading Rubric is available at the end of this document.
Exercises
We will start by connecting to the database and loading packages me may want to use.
Recreate the graph below showing the total students by course in Spring 2015.

Exercise 2
Show enrollments by section for the entire year 2015. Make sure you include year, semester, course name, section_id and the number of students in each section. Arrange the table by semester so that all of the Fall sections are listed first.

Exercise 3
Recreate the graph below showing average final grade by section for 2015. The vertical red line showing the final average across all sections for the year is added using geom_vline().
# Load required packageslibrary(ggplot2)# Create a sample data framedata <-data.frame(Section =c("MBA 676-86362", "MBA 676-38737", "MBA 674-42666", "MBA 674-29369", "BUS 377-68813", "BUS 345-25822"),AverageGrade =c(78, 77, 79, 80, 76, 75) # Replace these values with your actual data)# Calculate the overall average gradeoverall_average <-mean(data$AverageGrade)# Plotggplot(data, aes(x = AverageGrade, y =reorder(Section, AverageGrade))) +geom_bar(stat ="identity", fill ="blue") +geom_vline(xintercept = overall_average, color ="red", size =1) +labs(title ="Average final grade by section, 2015",x ="Average final grade",y ="Section",caption ="Red line is the overall average for the year across all sections" ) +theme_minimal()
Warning: Using `size` aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
ℹ Please use `linewidth` instead.
Exercise 4
Display a list of students (student_id, last_name, first_name) for all students that failed (i.e., final_avg < 65) MBA 674 in the Spring of 2015.
