Olympic Medals Data Exploration

For this first assignment, I want you to get into R and load your data!

I discovered this data set at https://www.kaggle.com/heesoo37/120-years-of-olympic-history-athletes-and-results. In order to create my data file, I clicked the icon to upload to Google sheets, published it to the web as a csv and copied a link. Some data will be possible to upload to github but if the file is large github will not do it. You need the data to be in a raw form, with csv.

Once you have your data loaded up into R, lets do two things with it! First I am going to show a snippet of the data with the head command. Create an R environment using three tick marks (by the tilde) and an {r} and close it out with three more tick marks. Anything inside can be run as R code (anything outside is just text explaining your project)

So we see a few athletes from different times and events. Notice that Aaftink is repeated, might worry about that later. Lastly I’ll run some real quick statistics.

This went through all the columns and did summary statistics on the quantitative variables. Okay that is all I want for the first assignment!
