Your goal as a group is to come up with a visual for these three different data sets.
You may use r, but you do not have to.
For each, create ONE visual that pertains to the data. It does not have to use all of the data if there’s a lot—you can use specific pieces if it tells the best possible story. In fact, if you try to use all the data from each set, I strongly suspect you will not finish. Look for a story, an idea, a thought and roll with it.
Consider all of the different aspects we have talked about, and decide from there. You must have a visual for each of the three data sets by 7:45.
DATA SET ONE:
Gas prices in the Unites States. In the excel file below labeled “GAS”. Downloaded from here:

DATA SET TWO:
Binge Drinking Rates in the United states by Age Group. In the excel file belwo labeled “BINGE”. Taken from:

DATA SET THREE:
The brightest stars as seen from Earth.

(you can take this data and put it into an excel file if you want. I tried just copying straight over and it worked pretty well, though there was some cleanup involved. Good luck!)
