Question 1:

library(tidyverse)
library(dplyr)
library(datasets)
str(iris)
## 'data.frame':    150 obs. of  5 variables:
##  $ Sepal.Length: num  5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ...
##  $ Sepal.Width : num  3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9 3.1 ...
##  $ Petal.Length: num  1.4 1.4 1.3 1.5 1.4 1.7 1.4 1.5 1.4 1.5 ...
##  $ Petal.Width : num  0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 ...
##  $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
There are 150 observations and 5 variables in the iris dataset.

Question 2:

iris1 <- filter(iris, Species != "setosa" & Sepal.Length > 6 & Sepal.Width > 2.5)
str(iris1)
## 'data.frame':    56 obs. of  5 variables:
##  $ Sepal.Length: num  7 6.4 6.9 6.5 6.3 6.6 6.1 6.7 6.1 6.1 ...
##  $ Sepal.Width : num  3.2 3.2 3.1 2.8 3.3 2.9 2.9 3.1 2.8 2.8 ...
##  $ Petal.Length: num  4.7 4.5 4.9 4.6 4.7 4.6 4.7 4.4 4 4.7 ...
##  $ Petal.Width : num  1.4 1.5 1.5 1.5 1.6 1.3 1.4 1.4 1.3 1.2 ...
##  $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
There are now only 56 observations and 5 variables in this updated dataset

Question 3:

iris2 <- select (iris1, Species, Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)
str(iris2)
## 'data.frame':    56 obs. of  3 variables:
##  $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
##  $ Sepal.Length: num  7 6.4 6.9 6.5 6.3 6.6 6.1 6.7 6.1 6.1 ...
##  $ Sepal.Width : num  3.2 3.2 3.1 2.8 3.3 2.9 2.9 3.1 2.8 2.8 ...
There are now 56 observations, but only the 3 variables that we selected.

Question 4:

iris3 <- arrange(iris2, by = desc(Sepal.Length))
head(iris3)
##     Species Sepal.Length Sepal.Width
## 1 virginica          7.9         3.8
## 2 virginica          7.7         3.8
## 3 virginica          7.7         2.6
## 4 virginica          7.7         2.8
## 5 virginica          7.7         3.0
## 6 virginica          7.6         3.0

Question 5:

iris4 <- mutate(iris3, Sepal.Area = Sepal.Length*Sepal.Width)
str(iris4)
## 'data.frame':    56 obs. of  4 variables:
##  $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ...
##  $ Sepal.Length: num  7.9 7.7 7.7 7.7 7.7 7.6 7.4 7.3 7.2 7.2 ...
##  $ Sepal.Width : num  3.8 3.8 2.6 2.8 3 3 2.8 2.9 3.6 3.2 ...
##  $ Sepal.Area  : num  30 29.3 20 21.6 23.1 ...
There are now 56 observations and 4 variables because we just added Sepal.Area as a variable.

Question 6:

iris5 <- summarize(iris4, MeanSepalLength = mean(Sepal.Length), MeanSepalWidth = mean(Sepal.Width), SampleSize = n())
print(iris5)
##   MeanSepalLength MeanSepalWidth SampleSize
## 1        6.698214       3.041071         56

Question 7:

iris6 <- iris4 %>% group_by(Species) %>% summarize(MeanSepalLength = mean(Sepal.Length), MeanSepalWidth = mean(Sepal.Width), SampleSize = n())
print(iris6)
## # A tibble: 2 × 4
##   Species    MeanSepalLength MeanSepalWidth SampleSize
##   <fct>                <dbl>          <dbl>      <int>
## 1 versicolor            6.48           2.99         17
## 2 virginica             6.79           3.06         39

Question 8:

irisFinal <- iris %>% 
  filter(Species != "setosa" & Sepal.Length > 6 & Sepal.Width > 2.5) %>% 
  select (Species, Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width) %>%
  arrange(by = desc(Sepal.Length)) %>%
  mutate(Sepal.Area = Sepal.Length*Sepal.Width) %>%
  group_by(Species) %>% 
  summarize(MeanSepalLength = mean(Sepal.Length), MeanSepalWidth = mean(Sepal.Width), SampleSize = n())

print(irisFinal)
## # A tibble: 2 × 4
##   Species    MeanSepalLength MeanSepalWidth SampleSize
##   <fct>                <dbl>          <dbl>      <int>
## 1 versicolor            6.48           2.99         17
## 2 virginica             6.79           3.06         39

Question 9:

irisLonger <- iris %>% pivot_longer(cols=c(Sepal.Length,Sepal.Width,Petal.Length,Petal.Width), names_to = "Measure", values_to = "Value")
head(irisLonger)
## # A tibble: 6 × 3
##   Species Measure      Value
##   <fct>   <chr>        <dbl>
## 1 setosa  Sepal.Length   5.1
## 2 setosa  Sepal.Width    3.5
## 3 setosa  Petal.Length   1.4
## 4 setosa  Petal.Width    0.2
