Data Visulization

The document outlines a data analysis process using the 'mtcars' dataset in R, including importing the dataset, checking its structure, and generating summary statistics. It creates various visualizations such as a scatter plot for horsepower vs. MPG, a histogram for MPG distribution, a bar chart for cylinder counts, and a box plot comparing MPG across different cylinder types. The visualizations utilize the ggplot2 library to enhance data interpretation.

# 1. Import Dataset

# -----------------------------

# The built-in 'mtcars' dataset is used (no need to import externally)

# 2. Scatter Plot: Horsepower vs. MPG

# -----------------------------
# This scatter plot shows the relationship between Horsepower (hp) and Miles Per
Gallon (mpg)
