Look at the structure of the data

Change the Months from 5-9 to May through September

airquality$Month[airquality$Month == 5]<- "May"
airquality$Month[airquality$Month == 6]<- "June"
airquality$Month[airquality$Month == 7]<- "July"
airquality$Month[airquality$Month == 8]<- "August"
airquality$Month[airquality$Month == 9]<- "September"

Look at the summary statistics of the dataset, and see how Month has changed to have characters instead of numbers

Month is a categorical variable witj different levels, called factors.

Reorder the Months so they do not default to alphabetical

airquality$Month<-factor(airquality$Month, levels=c("May", "June","July", "August", "September"))

Plot 1: Create a histogram categorized by Month with qplot

Qplot stands for “Quick-Plot” (in the ggplot package)

p1 <- qplot(data = airquality,Temp,fill = Month,geom = "histogram", bins = 20)
p1

Plot 2: Make a histogram using ggplot

ggplot is more sophisticated than qplot, but still uses ggplot2 package

Reorder the legend so that it is not the default (alphabetical), but rather in order that months come

Outline the bars in white using the color = “white” command

p2 <- airquality %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=Temp, fill=Month)) +
  geom_histogram(position="identity", alpha=0.5, binwidth = 5, color = "white")+
  scale_fill_discrete(name = "Month", labels = c("May", "June","July", "August", "September"))
p2

Plot 3: Create side-by-side boxplots categorized by Month

fill=Month command fills each boxplot with a different color in the aesthetics

scale_fill_discrete makes the legend on the side for discrete color values

p3 <- airquality %>%
  ggplot(aes(Month, Temp, fill = Month)) + 
  ggtitle("Temperatures") +
  xlab("Monthly Temperatures") +
  ylab("Frequency") +
  geom_boxplot() +
  scale_fill_discrete(name = "Month", labels = c("May", "June","July", "August", "September"))
p3 

Plot 4: Make the same side-by-side boxplots, but in grey-scale

Use the scale_fill_grey command for the grey-scale legend, and again, use fill=Month in the aesthetics

p4 <- airquality %>%
  ggplot(aes(Month, Temp, fill = Month)) + 
  ggtitle("Monthly Temperature Variations") +
  xlab("Monthly Temperatures") +
  ylab("Frequency") +
  geom_boxplot()+
  scale_fill_grey(name = "Month", labels = c("May", "June","July", "August", "September"))
p4

Plot 5: Ozone Level Variations

 with(airquality, plot(Ozone ~ Temp))

This scatterplot illustrates a strong positive correlation between temperature and ozone levels. As temperature readings increase, the ozone level readings increase. I used a with function to create the scatterplot. The line of code used is with(airquality, plot(Ozone ~ Temp)).
