Relationship between trip duration and total fare
We would assume that there is a relationship between the total cab fare and the duration of the trip. Since there are too many data points to make a scatterplot, let's use a hexagon-binned plot to investigate this relationship.
tx is available for you in your workspace.

Visualizing Big Data with Trelliscope in R
Exercise instructions
- Use hexagon bins to visualize the bivariate distribution of
total_amount(y-axis) vs.trip_duration(x-axis). - Set the
binsargument ofgeom_hex()to 75. - Since both variables are highly skewed, rescale both the x and y axes to log base 10. Note that these transformations will generate some warnings about a relatively small number of records with zero trip duration or fare amount.
