Polishing a scatterplot
Are best-selling video games generally well received by critics? To investigate this question, you'll create a scatterplot of critic score against global sales.
As you have seen, global sales differ by an order of magnitude across the distribution. In such cases, exploring the data on a transformed scale is wise. In this exercise, display global sales on the log scale.
As always, don't forget to use informative axis labels!
Note that plotly has been loaded for you.

Exercise instructions
- Apply a log transformation to the x-axis within the
layout()command. - Label the x-axis
"Global sales (millions of units)"and the y-axis"Critic score".
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Polish the scatterplot by transforming the x-axis and labeling both axes
