library(tidyverse)
library(palmerpenguins)

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:

Make a list of the categorical variables:

• Species
• Island
• Sex

Make a list of the quantitative variables:

• Bill length
• Bill depth
• Flipper length
• Body mass
• Year

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 chunk 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_body_mass = mean(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
          medi_body_mass = median(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
          min_body_mass = min(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
          max_body_mass = max(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE),
          std_body_mass = sd(body_mass_g, na.rm = TRUE)
          )

# A tibble: 1 × 5
  mean_body_mass medi_body_mass min_body_mass max_body_mass std_body_mass
           <dbl>          <dbl>         <int>         <int>         <dbl>
1          4202.           4050          2700          6300          802.
