Appropriate mappings

Incorrect aesthetic mapping causes confusion or misleads the audience.

Typically, the dependent variable is mapped onto the the y-axis and the independent variable is mapped onto the x-axis.

In the ToothGrowth data set, we have three variables:

From the six possible ways to map three variables, one solution is shown in the viewer. Which of the options below leads to the plot shown?

x = supp, y = len, color = dose

x = dose, y = supp, color = len

x = len, y = dose, color = supp

x = len, y = supp, color = dose

x = supp, y = dose, color = len
