Description
Let’s work on the dataset diamonds in the package ggplot2. You can use the following
code to load the data. Use necessary code to read the description of the dataset, which
contains 53940 samples and 10 variables.
# Install the package if you never did
install . packages (” ggplot 2″)
# Load the pacakge
library ( ggplot 2)
# Load the mpg dataset
data (” diamonds “)
Problem 1 (1 × 5 = 5 points)
Use ggplot2 to visualize the data. You need to paste the resulting plots and related code
in order to get the full points. For each ggplot2 plot:
• make it complete/readable, in other words, it should include axis label(s), title, and
legend if necessary;
• write 1–2 sentence about what the chart tells you about the data.
(a) Choose a bin number or a binwidth (Hint: See page 11 of lecture 04c.pdf), explain
why, and create a histogram of carat
(b) Make a scatter plot of y =price against x =carat and set the color to clarity
(c) Make a scatter plot of y =price against x =carat and add a smooth line to each
group of points defined by clarity
(d) Make a scatter plot of y =price against x =carat and facet it by clarity
(e) Show carat vs cut, make a point, a jitter, a box plot and a violin plot, respectively.
Which one is the best for visualization?

Problem 2 (1 × 5 = 5 points)
Use ggplot2 to recreate the following plots with title. You need to paste the new plots and
related code in order to get full points.
(a) Recreate the following two plots, add a short title, and comment on the merits of each
one compared to the other
