Exercise instructions

Fix the code given to focus on only data corresponding to 2013 births using a function in the dplyr package.
Remember to load all needed packages.
Assign the name US_births_2013 to this smaller data frame
Note that year is a numeric variable so you shouldn't have quotation marks around the value(s) of year you specify.
