Homework 3

Do not change anything in the following chunk

You will be working on olympic_gymnasts dataset. Do not change the code below:

olympics <- readr::read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2021/2021-07-27/olympics.csv')

olympic_gymnasts <- olympics %>% 
  filter(!is.na(age)) %>%             # only keep athletes with known age
  filter(sport == "Gymnastics") %>%   # keep only gymnasts
  mutate(
    medalist = case_when(             # add column for success in medaling
      is.na(medal) ~ FALSE,           # NA values go to FALSE
      !is.na(medal) ~ TRUE            # non-NA values (Gold, Silver, Bronze) go to TRUE
    )
  )

More information about the dataset can be found at

Question 1: Create a subset dataset with the following columns only: name, sex, age, team, year and medalist. Call it df.

df<- olympic_gymnasts|>
  select(name, sex, age, team, year, medalist)
df

## # A tibble: 25,528 × 6
##    name                    sex     age team     year medalist
##    <chr>                   <chr> <dbl> <chr>   <dbl> <lgl>   
##  1 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 TRUE    
##  2 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 TRUE    
##  3 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 FALSE   
##  4 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 TRUE    
##  5 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 FALSE   
##  6 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 FALSE   
##  7 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 FALSE   
##  8 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        28 Finland  1948 TRUE    
##  9 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        32 Finland  1952 FALSE   
## 10 Paavo Johannes Aaltonen M        32 Finland  1952 TRUE    
## # ℹ 25,518 more rows

Question 2: From df create df2 that only have year of 2008 2012, and 2016

df2<-df |> 
  filter(year %in% c(2008,2012,2016))
df2

## # A tibble: 2,703 × 6
##    name              sex     age team     year medalist
##    <chr>             <chr> <dbl> <chr>   <dbl> <lgl>   
##  1 Nstor Abad Sanjun M        23 Spain    2016 FALSE   
##  2 Nstor Abad Sanjun M        23 Spain    2016 FALSE   
##  3 Nstor Abad Sanjun M        23 Spain    2016 FALSE   
##  4 Nstor Abad Sanjun M        23 Spain    2016 FALSE   
##  5 Nstor Abad Sanjun M        23 Spain    2016 FALSE   
##  6 Nstor Abad Sanjun M        23 Spain    2016 FALSE   
##  7 Katja Abel        F        25 Germany  2008 FALSE   
##  8 Katja Abel        F        25 Germany  2008 FALSE   
##  9 Katja Abel        F        25 Germany  2008 FALSE   
## 10 Katja Abel        F        25 Germany  2008 FALSE   
## # ℹ 2,693 more rows

Question 3 Group by these three years (2008,2012, and 2016) and summarize the mean of the age in each group.

df2<-df |> 
  filter(year %in% c(2008,2012,2016)) |> 
  group_by(year) |> 
  summarize( mean_age = mean(age, na.rm = TRUE)
  )
df2

## # A tibble: 3 × 2
##    year mean_age
##   <dbl>    <dbl>
## 1  2008     21.6
## 2  2012     21.9
## 3  2016     22.2

Question 4 Use olympic_gymnasts dataset, group by year, and find the mean of the age for each year, call this dataset oly_year. (optional after creating the dataset, find the minimum average age)

oly_year<- olympic_gymnasts |> 
  group_by(year) |> 
  summarize(mean_age =mean(age, na.rm=TRUE))
oly_year

## # A tibble: 29 × 2
##     year mean_age
##    <dbl>    <dbl>
##  1  1896     24.3
##  2  1900     22.2
##  3  1904     25.1
##  4  1906     24.7
##  5  1908     23.2
##  6  1912     24.2
##  7  1920     26.7
##  8  1924     27.6
##  9  1928     25.6
## 10  1932     23.9
## # ℹ 19 more rows

Question 5 Count male gymnasts on each team

# Your R code here
olympic_gymnasts|> 
  filter(sex=="M") |> 
  count(team)

## # A tibble: 98 × 2
##    team           n
##    <chr>      <int>
##  1 Algeria       20
##  2 Argentina     69
##  3 Armenia       16
##  4 Australia    200
##  5 Austria      251
##  6 Azerbaijan    18
##  7 Bangladesh     3
##  8 Barbados       7
##  9 Belarus      150
## 10 Belgium       69
## # ℹ 88 more rows

Discussion: I asked R to look at the olympic_gymnasts dataset and then count the number of male gymnasts on each team (countries who participated in the olympics). The question choice is a little on the basic side and it shows an extensive list of all 98 countries that participated.
