Exercise

Using ratios to describe the frequency of a name

In the video, you learned how to find the difference in the frequency of a baby name between consecutive years. What if instead of finding the difference, you wanted to find the ratio?

You'll start with the babynames_fraction data already, so that you can consider the popularity of each name within each year.

Instructions
