Exercise 3: Showing the data and customizing plots

Say we are interested in comparing gun homicide rates across regions of the US. We see this plot:

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(dslabs)
data("murders")
murders %>% mutate(rate = total/population*100000) %>%
  group_by(region) %>%
  summarize(avg = mean(rate)) %>%
  mutate(region = factor(region)) %>%
  ggplot(aes(region, avg)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity") +
  ylab("Murder Rate Average")

and decide to move to a state in the western region. What is the main problem with this interpretaion?
