Creating an initial plot

In the previous lessons, we tidied and cleaned our data to prepare it for visualization. Now we're ready to start recreating FiveThirtyEight's graph. Let's start with an initial plot. The dataset you created in the last chapter, rude_behaviors, is loaded.

  • Make a bar plot of response_var by perc_rude. Save it as initial_plot.

Hands-on interactive exercise

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

initial_plot <- rude_behaviors %>%
	# Reorder response_var by perc_rude
	mutate(response_var = ___(response_var, perc_rude)) %>%
	# Make a bar plot of perc_rude by response_var
	ggplot(aes(x = ___, y = ___)) + 
    geom_bar(stat = "identity")

# View your plot
