You are the walrus

Getting a column name like `median(perc_electric_access, na.rm = TRUE)` in the previous lesson can be pretty difficult to work with as a programmer. In this exercise, you'll use the walrus operator (:=) and other rlang magic with dplyr to specify the name of that column instead.
