Begin by loading the tidyverse and palmerpenguins packages above.

Take a glimpse of the penguins data and determine which of the variables are categorical and which are quantitative:

dplyr::glimpse(penguins)

Rows: 344
Columns: 8
$ species           <fct> Adelie, Adelie, Adelie, Adelie, Adelie, Adelie, Adel…
$ island            <fct> Torgersen, Torgersen, Torgersen, Torgersen, Torgerse…
$ bill_length_mm    <dbl> 39.1, 39.5, 40.3, NA, 36.7, 39.3, 38.9, 39.2, 34.1, …
$ bill_depth_mm     <dbl> 18.7, 17.4, 18.0, NA, 19.3, 20.6, 17.8, 19.6, 18.1, …
$ flipper_length_mm <int> 181, 186, 195, NA, 193, 190, 181, 195, 193, 190, 186…
$ body_mass_g       <int> 3750, 3800, 3250, NA, 3450, 3650, 3625, 4675, 3475, …
$ sex               <fct> male, female, female, NA, female, male, female, male…
$ year              <int> 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007, 2007…

Make a list of the categorical variables:

-Species -island -sex -year

Make a list of the quantitative variables:

-body_mass_g -flipper_length_mm -bill_depth_mm -bill_length_mm

Summarizing Variables

Create a code chunk that summarizes the number of penguins by species:

count(penguins,species)

# A tibble: 3 × 2
  species       n
  <fct>     <int>
1 Adelie      152
2 Chinstrap    68
3 Gentoo      124

Create a code chunk that summarizes the number of penguins by island:

count(penguins,island)

# A tibble: 3 × 2
  island        n
  <fct>     <int>
1 Biscoe      168
2 Dream       124
3 Torgersen    52

Create a code chunck that summarizes the number of penguins by species and island:

count(penguins, species, island)

# A tibble: 5 × 3
  species   island        n
  <fct>     <fct>     <int>
1 Adelie    Biscoe       44
2 Adelie    Dream        56
3 Adelie    Torgersen    52
4 Chinstrap Dream        68
5 Gentoo    Biscoe      124

Create a code chunk that summarizes body_mass_g. It should produce a data frame with the mean, median, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of the body_mass_q:

summarize(
  penguins,
  mean_boddymass = mean(penguins$body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
  median_boddymass = median(penguins$body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
  mn_boddymass = min(penguins$body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
  mx_boddymass = max(penguins$body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
  sd_boddymass = sd(penguins$body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
  
)

# A tibble: 1 × 5
  mean_boddymass median_boddymass mn_boddymass mx_boddymass sd_boddymass
           <dbl>            <dbl>        <int>        <int>        <dbl>
1          4202.             4050         2700         6300         802.
