R Programming for Data

For this project, I used the R programming language in RStudio/Posit Cloud to visualize a set of states’ data from a motor fuel tax rates dataset. I cast the original CSV file to a data frame, extracted a subset of the data, and generated a scatter plot. I then exported the code, explanations, and visualization to the R Markdown file embedded below. Packages used include tidyverse, dplyr, and ggplot2.

Data source: “Tax Rates by Motor Fuel and State” CSV file, 14 August 2022 -14 March 2023, Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics, accessed via Data.gov.
