Plot number of possible baskets

In this exercise, you will visually see how quickly the number of possible baskets grows as a function of the itemset size. This will illustrate one of the main challenges in Market Basket Analysis which is the large number of possible ways of creating a basket. You will be using here the stat_function(); this function allows you to specify within your ggplot() call which function you would like to plot by specifying the argument fun.
