program 1

1. Develop an R program to quickly explore a given data task including categorical analysis using the group _by command and visualize findings using ggplot2 features

Step 1: Load the required library

we load ggplot2 and tidyverse library required for the program

library(ggplot2)
library(tidyverse)

── Attaching core tidyverse packages ──────────────────────── tidyverse 2.0.0 ──
✔ dplyr     1.1.4     ✔ readr     2.1.5
✔ forcats   1.0.0     ✔ stringr   1.5.1
✔ lubridate 1.9.4     ✔ tibble    3.2.1
✔ purrr     1.0.4     ✔ tidyr     1.3.1
── Conflicts ────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
✖ dplyr::lag()    masks stats::lag()
ℹ Use the conflicted package (<http://conflicted.r-lib.org/>) to force all conflicts to become errors

Step 2: Load data set

we will use the built_in mtcars sets

mtcars

data<-mtcars
#str(temp)
#table(temp$cyl)
#class(temp)
data$cyl<-as.factor(data$cyl)
#str(temp)

Step 3: Group by categorical variable

We analyze the average mpg (miles per gallon) for each cylinder category

#summarized average mog by cylinder category 
summary_data <- data %>%
  group_by(cyl) %>%
  summarise(avg_mpg = mean(mpg), .groups='drop')
#display
print(summary_data)

# A tibble: 3 × 2
  cyl   avg_mpg
  <fct>   <dbl>
1 4        26.7
2 6        19.7
3 8        15.1

step 4: Creating a bar plot using ggplot2

#create a bar plot using ggplot2
ggplot(summary_data, aes(x = cyl, y = avg_mpg,fill = cyl))+
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")+
  labs(title = "Average MPG by cylinder count ",
       x = "number of cylinders",
       y = "Average MPG")+
  theme_minimal()
