Creating an explanatory scatterplot

In constrast to the exploratory analysis plot you created in the previous exercise, this exercise asks you to create a simple explanatory scatterplot, suitable for sharing with others.

Here, it is important to make editorial choices in constructing this plot, rather than depending entirely on default options. In particular, the important editorial aspects of this plot are: first, the variables to be plotted, and second, the axis labels, which are specified as strings to the xlab and ylab arguments to the plot() function.

Instructions

Use the plot() function to construct a scatterplot of the heating gas consumption, Gas, versus the outside temperature, Temp, from the whiteside data frame. Label the x- and y-axes to indicate the variables in the plot (i.e. "Outside temperature" and "Heating gas consumption", respectively.)
