Your assignment is to create one plot to visualize one aspect of this dataset. The plot may be any type we have covered so far in this class (bargraphs, scatterplots, boxplots, histograms, treemaps, heatmaps, streamgraphs, or alluvials)
Requirements for the plot:
- Include at least one dplyr command (filter, sort, summarize, group_by, select, mutate, ….)
- Include labels for the x- and y-axes
- Include a title
- Your plot must incorporate at least 2 colors
- Include a legend that indicates what the colors represent
- Write a brief paragraph that describes the visualization you have created and at least one aspect of the plot that you would like to highlight.

Short Paragraph
I created a box plot to know exactly the carriers that had more arrival delays by minutes in 2013. To do the plot, first, I focused on the variables that I wanted to choose and create the plot (Carrier, arrival delay, and year) by using the select function and I also used the filter function because there were many carriers where the arrival delays were greater than 100 minutes, therefore; I filtered the arrival delays that were greater than 100. In sum, the aspect that I would like to highlight, we can see that most of them have almost the same range, but Delta and American airlines according to Wikipedia are the most popular airlines in the USA, but Looking at the boxplot, there are the ones that have more arrival delays. Because of that, my curiosity wants to know what the factors behind those arrival delays are.
