Part 2

You can create a column called car using the rownames_to_column function.

cars = rownames_to_column(mtcars, var = "car")
  1. Subset the columns from cars that end in "p" and call it pvars, use ends_with().
pvars = select(cars, car, ends_with("p"))
  1. Create a subset of the data that only contains the columns: wt, qsec, and hp and assign this object to carsSub - what are the dimensions of this dataset? Use select() (and dim):
carsSub = select(cars, car, wt, qsec, hp)
dim(carsSub)
## [1] 32  4
  1. Convert the column names of carsSub to all upper case. Use rename_all(), and the toupper command (or colnames)
carsSub = rename_all(carsSub, toupper)

Part 3

  1. Subset the rows of cars that get more than 20 miles per gallon (mpg) of fuel efficiency - how many are there? Use filter()
cars_mpg = filter(cars, mpg > 20)
dim(cars_mpg)

# filter(cars, mpg > 20)

cars %>% filter(mpg > 20) %>% nrow()
## [1] 14
filter(cars, mpg > 20) %>% nrow()
## [1] 14
  1. Subset the rows that get less than 16 miles per gallon (mpg) of fuel efficiency and have more than 100 horsepower (hp) - how many are there?

Part 4

  1. Create a subset from the cars data that only contains the columns: wt, qsec, and hp for only the cars with 8 cylinders and reassign this object to carsSub - what are the dimensions of this dataset?
carsSub = filter(cars, cyl == 8) 
carsSub = select(carsSub, wt, qsec, hp, car)
dim(carsSub)
## [1] 14  4
carsSub = cars %>% 
  filter(cyl == 8) %>% 
  select(wt, qsec, hp, car)
dim(carsSub)
## [1] 14  4
  1. Re-order the rows of carsSub by weight in increasing order. Use arrange()
carsSub = arrange(carsSub, wt)
  1. Create a new variable in carsSub called wt2, which is equal to wt^2, using mutate(). Use piping %>%:
carsSub %>% mutate(wt2 = wt^2)
