Develop an R program to create a box plot to compare the Sepal Length across different species in the iris dataset. Ensure the plot highlights outliers with a specific color and shape, includes notches to compare medians, and applies appropriate labeling and styling.

Step-1: Load the library

library(ggplot2)

Step-2: Explore the dataset

data(iris)
head(iris,10)
   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
1           5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
2           4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
3           4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa

5           5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa

9           4.4         2.9          1.4         0.2  setosa
10          4.9         3.1          1.5         0.1  setosa

str(iris)
'data.frame':   150 obs. of  5 variables:
 $ Sepal.Length: num  5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ...
 $ Sepal.Width : num  3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9 3.1 ...
 $ Petal.Length: num  1.4 1.4 1.3 1.5 1.4 1.7 1.4 1.5 1.4 1.5 ...
 $ Petal.Width : num  0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 ...
 $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

Step-3: Create the box-plot for Species against Sepal Length

ggplot(iris, aes(x=Species,y=Sepal.Length))+
  geom_boxplot(outliers = TRUE, outlier.colour = "red",notch = TRUE, fill = "yellow", alpha=10, outlier.shape = "square", outlier.size = 5)+
  labs(title = "Box Plot Representation",
       x="Species",
       y="Sepal.Length(in cm)")+
  theme_minimal()
