Overview

This presentation shows histograms of penguin body mass for each species using the Palmer Penguins dataset.

The Palmer Penguins dataset contains data on three penguin species collected from islands in the Antarctic archipelago.

The three species are Adelie, Gentoo, and Chinstrap.

The dataset includes bill length, bill depth, flipper length, and body mass.

Adelie Penguins

Above, the app is run with Species = Adelie and with a bin width of 400 grams.

Gentoo Penguins

Above, the app is run again with Species = Gentoo and with a bin width of 200 grams.

CONCLUSION

Gentoo penguins exhibit a distinct body mass distribution.

Static UI layout enables intuitive visual analysis.

Future improvements may include interactivity via Shiny or Quarto.

The Palmer Penguins dataset is an excellent resource for data storytelling.
