1. rename(): (4 points)

Rename the “Film” column to “movie_title” and “Year” to “release_year”.

q1 <- movies %>%
  rename(movie_title = Film , 
         release_year = Year)

head(q1)

q2 <- movies %>%
  select(Film, Year, Genre, Profitability)

head(q2)
## # A tibble: 6 × 4

3. filter(): (4 points)

Filter the dataset to include only movies released after 2000 with a Rotten Tomatoes % higher than 80.

q3 <- movies %>%
  filter(Year > 2000 & `Rotten Tomatoes %` > 80)

4. mutate(): (4 points)

Add a new column called “Profitability_millions” that converts the Profitability to millions of dollars.

q4 <- movies %>%
  mutate(Profitability_millions = Profitability * 1000000)

head(q4)
## # A tibble: 6 × 9

## # ℹ 3 more variables: `Worldwide Gross` <chr>, Year <dbl>,
## #   Profitability_millions <dbl>

5. arrange(): (3 points)

Sort the filtered dataset by Rotten Tomatoes % in descending order, and then by Profitability in descending order. five <- four %>% arrange(desc(Rotten Tomatoes %) , desc(Profitability_millions))

q5 <- movies %>%
  arrange(desc(`Rotten Tomatoes %`) , desc(Profitability))

head(q5)
## # A tibble: 6 × 8

6. Combining functions: (3 points)

Use the pipe operator (%>%) to chain these operations together, starting with the original dataset and ending with a final dataframe that incorporates all the above transformations.

movies %>%
  filter(Year > 2000 & `Rotten Tomatoes %` > 80) %>%
  select(Film, Year, Genre, Profitability, `Rotten Tomatoes %`) %>%
  mutate(Profitability_millions = Profitability * 1000000) %>%
  arrange(desc(`Rotten Tomatoes %`) , desc(Profitability)) %>%
  head(5)
## # A tibble: 5 × 6
##   Film       Year Genre Profitability `Rotten Tomatoes %` Profitability_millions
##   <chr>     <dbl> <chr>         <dbl>               <dbl>                  <dbl>
## 1 WALL-E     2008 Anim…          2.90                  96               2896019.

## 4 Knocked …  2007 Come…          6.64                  91               6636402.
## 5 Waitress   2007 Roma…         11.1                   89              11089742.

7. Interpret question 6 (1 point)

From the resulting data, are the best movies the most popular?

From the resulting data, the best movies are not the most popular movies because not all movies with a high rotten tomato scores also had high profitability. There is not a strong correlation between the best and most popular movies. For example, Wall-E had the highest rotten tomatoes score making it the best movie, but it only made 2 million dollars. However, fireproof made 66 million, but was only the 43rd best movie.
