- line graph
- bar graph
- histogram
- box plot

As it states at the beginning of chapter 1 of the textbook R Graphics Cookbook, you will need to install 2
packages for most of the recipes in the cookbook to run.

In RStudio, you type and run:

install.packages(“tidyverse”)

install.packages(“gcookbook”)

Then in RStudio, you type this and run once before each R session:

library(ggplot2)

library(dplyr)

library(gcookbook)

Assignment steps:

1) Create a blank Word document called WS1_Making_Basic_Graphs.docx – this is the file you will
submit as proof that the installation worked.
2) Place your name and the date on the top of the document.
3) Section 2.1 of the textbook:
a. Type in the commands and run them to create the scatterplot.
b. Capture a screenshot of the graph and place it into the Word document.
