Sorting by percentage of "yes" votes

Now that you've summarized the dataset by country, you can start examining it and answering interesting questions.

For example, you might be especially interested in the countries that voted "yes" least often, or the ones that voted "yes" most often.

  • Use arrange() to sort the countries in ascending order of percent_yes.
  • Arrange the countries by the same variable, but in descending order.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# You have the votes summarized by country
by_country <- votes_processed %>%
  group_by(country) %>%
  summarize(total = n(),
            percent_yes = mean(vote == 1))

# Print the by_country dataset


# Sort in ascending order of percent_yes


# Now sort in descending order
