Month is a categorical variable with different levels, called factors.

airquality$Month<-factor(airquality$Month, 
                         levels=c("May", "June","July", "August",
                                  "September"))

Plot 1: Create a histogram categorized by Month

p1 <- airquality |>
  ggplot(aes(x=Temp, fill=Month)) +
  geom_histogram(position="identity")+
  scale_fill_discrete(name = "Month", 
                      labels = c("May", "June","July", "August", "September")) +
  labs(x = "Monthly Temperatures from May - Sept", 
       y = "Frequency of Temps",
       title = "Histogram of Monthly Temperatures from May - Sept, 1973",
       caption = "New York State Department of Conservation and the National Weather Service")  #provide the data source

p1

`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Plot 2: Improve the histogram of Average Temperature by Month

p2 <- airquality |>
  ggplot(aes(x=Temp, fill=Month)) +
  geom_histogram(position="identity", alpha=0.5, binwidth = 5, color = "white")+
  scale_fill_discrete(name = "Month", labels = c("May", "June","July", "August", "September")) +
  labs(x = "Monthly Temperatures from May - Sept", 
       y = "Frequency of Temps",
       title = "Histogram of Monthly Temperatures from May - Sept, 1973",
       caption = "New York State Department of Conservation and the National Weather Service")

Plot 3: Create side-by-side boxplots categorized by Month

p3 <- airquality |>
  ggplot(aes(Month, Temp, fill = Month)) + 
  labs(x = "Months from May through September", y = "Temperatures", 
       title = "Side-by-Side Boxplot of Monthly Temperatures",

I created a side-by-side boxplot to show ozone levels for each month. This plot makes it easy to compare how ozone changes from month to month. From the chart, we can see that July and August generally have higher ozone levels, while May, June, and September have lower levels. Each month’s boxplot is shaded a different color, which helps tell them apart. The boxplots show important details about the data, including the minimum and maximum values, as well as the four quartiles (Q1 to Q4). This gives a clear picture of how the ozone levels are spread out each month. By looking at the boxes, we can see both the middle values and the range of ozone levels. Overall, this side-by-side boxplot is a simple way to understand patterns in ozone levels across the months and to see which months tend to have higher or lower ozone concentrations. I did not really use any special code to make this plot I mostly used the code that was used in the other plots while just eciding to use different sets of data for exmaple mine was Ozone while all the others used temperatures.
