    ST 314 Data Analysis 1

    Introduction to RStudio
    This first data analysis assignment is intended to help you familiarize yourself with the RStudio
    interface and get comfortable running small chunks of R code. If you have not done so already,
    please work through the Introduction to RStudio & Tutorial in the Getting Started & Course
    Resources module on Canvas.

    For this assignment, you will need the loan50.csv dataset which can be found on the Data
    Analysis 1 assignment page and in the Introduction to RStudio & Tutorial.

    You can find a description of the variables recorded in the loan50.csv dataset on the OpenIntro
    Statistics loan50 info page.

    The Introduction to RStudio & Tutorial walks you through using some of the basic, built-in
    functions in R. Read through and run each line of code to ensure you understand what the
    functions are doing and what types of output each produces.

    Part 1: Present Day Birth Records in the United States


    In Part 1 of the Introduction to RStudio & Tutorial, you worked through visualizing and
    summarizing data from the Arbuthnot’s baptism data. This assignment involves repeating these
    steps, but for present day birth records in the United States The data are stored in a data frame
    called present.

    Load the present dataset using the data() function, just as we did in the tutorial. Note that if
    you do not have the openintro package loaded, you will not be able to access this dataset.
    The tutorial discusses how to open packages using the library() function. Once you have the
    present dataset loaded, answer the following questions.

    a. (1 point) What years are included in this dataset?

    b. (1 point) What are the dimensions of the data frame? Dimensions refers to the number of
    rows and variables.

    c. (1 point) What are the variable (column) names?


    year, boys,girls
    d. (1 point) Make a plot that displays the proportion of boys born over time. What do you see?
    Does Arbuthnot’s observation about boys being born in greater proportion than girls hold
    up in the U.S.? Include the plot in your response. To copy or save a graph from RStudio, click
    the Export button just above the preview of the graph. From there you can choose to Save
    Image or Copy to Clipboard.

    I'm seeing a downward trend in the percentage of boys being born.

    It can hold up.


    ST 314 Data Analysis 1

    e. (1 point) In what year did we see the most total number of births in the U.S.? Hint: First
    calculate the totals and save it as a new variable. Then, sort your dataset in descending
    order based on the total column. You can do this interactively in the data viewer by
    clicking on the arrows next to the variable names. To include the sorted result in your report
    you will need to use two new functions. First we use arrange() to sorting the variable.
    Then we can arrange the data in a descending order with another function, desc(), for
    descending order. The sample code is provided below.

    present %>%
    arrange(desc(total))
    1905

    Part 2: Loan Data from Lending Club


    Part 2 of the Introduction to RStudio & Tutorial uses two variables from the Lending Club data:
    loan_amount and homeownership. For the assignment you’ll submit, you will practice using the
    homeownership variable and two additional different variables. Please make sure the
    assignment you submit uses the correct variables (specified in the questions below).

    Exploring a Single Quantitative Variable

    For this portion of the assignment, you’ll practice using R to explore the total_credit_limit
    variable in the loan50.csv data set.

    a. (1 point) Construct a histogram of the total credit limit data. Include informative labels and a
    title. Include your histogram below.
    ST 314 Data Analysis 1

    b. (1 point) Construct a boxplot of the total credit limit data. Include informative labels and a
    title. Include your boxplot below.

    c. (1 point) Using the histogram you constructed in part a and the boxplot from part b, describe
    the shape of the distribution of the total credit limit variable and comment on the presence of
    any outliers.
    The histogram shows that the image is skewed to the right. Most of the total credit data is
    centered between 70,000 and 300,000 dollars. There are outliers, one at 800k.

    d. (1.5 points) Calculate the mean of the total credit limit data.

    It is 208547

    e. (1.5 points) Calculate the median of the total credit limit data.

    It is 147664

    f. (1 point) Which measure of center (mean or median) is more appropriate for these data?
    Why? Consider the shape of the distribution discussed in part c.
    It is median.Because there is an outlier in this, it will pull up the average.
    ST 314 Data Analysis 1

    g. (1.5 points) Calculate the standard deviation of the total credit limit data.

    h. (1.5 points) Calculate the interquartile range of the total credit limit data.

    Visualizing Two Variables

    Let’s continue to explore the total credit limit data, but now consider how total credit limit may
    vary between homeownership status (stored in the homeownership variable).

    i. (1 point) Construct a side-by-side boxplot for total credit limit broken up by homeownership
    type. Include informative labels and a title.

    j. (2 points) How do the distributions of total credit limit compare for homeownership status?
    Comment on the shape, center, spread, and presence of outliers for the two groups.
    There is not much difference in renting and owning your own property. However, outliers
    appear in renting. In mortgages, where most people have credit limits between 200,000 and 4 -
    million, it has an outlier of about 800,000 dollars.

    Exploring a Single Categorical Variable

    Finally, we’ll focus our attention only on the loan purpose variable (stored in loan_purpose).

    k. (2 points) Construct a table of counts for the loan purpose variable. Report the number of
    observations in each category below.

    l. (2 points) Construct a table of proportions for the loan purpose variable. Report the
    proportions for each category below.

    m. (1 point) Construct a barplot that displays the distribution of loan purpose types. Include
    informative labels and a title. Include your barplot below.

    Gradescope Page Matching (2 points)


    When you upload your PDF file to Gradescope, you will need to match each question on this assignment
    to the correct pages. Video instructions for doing this are available in the Start Here module on Canvas
    on the page “Submitting Assignments in Gradescope”. Failure to follow these instructions will result in a
    2-point deduction on your assignment grade. Match this page to outline item “Gradescope Page
    Matching”.
