Identify outliers
Consider the distribution, shown here, of the life expectancies of the countries in Asia. The box plot identifies one clear outlier: a country with a notably low life expectancy. Do you have a guess as to which country this might be? Test your guess in the console using either min() or filter(), then proceed to building a plot with that country removed.

- Apply a filter so that it only contains observations from Asia, then create a new variable called
is_outlierthat isTRUEfor countries with life expectancy less than 50. Assign the result togap_asia. - Filter
gap_asiato remove all outliers, then create another box plot of the remaining life expectancies.
