Question 8: Distance vs Delay Analysis Steps

# Step 1: Group flights by destination
by_dest <- group_by(flights, dest)

# Step 2: Summarize
delay <- summarise(by_dest,
                   count = n(),
                   dist = mean(distance, na.rm = TRUE),
                   delay = mean(arr_delay, na.rm = TRUE)
                   )

# Step 3: Filter noisy data
delay <- filter(delay, count > 20, dest != "HNL")

# Step 4: Plot
ggplot(data = delay, mapping = aes(x = dist, y = delay)) + 
  geom_point(aes(size = count), alpha = 1/3) + 
  geom_smooth(se = FALSE)
## `geom_smooth()` using method = 'loess' and formula = 'y ~ x'
