Your Turn

  1. Create a new RMarkdown document

  2. Create a data frame called enrollment_by_race_ethnicity by reading in your race/ethnicity data from the data wrangling and analysis section using the read_rds() function

  3. Pipe your data into a bar chart that shows the breakdown of race/ethnicity among students in Beaverton SD 48J in 2018-2019

Your chart should look like this:

I can't seem to load the rds file and I'm not sure why. The data and RMarkdown file are saved in the Oregon Schools project. Here is my code and error message:

enrollment_data <- 
  read_rds("/data/enrollment_race_ethnicity.rds")

Error in gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open compressed file '/data/enrollment_race_ethnicity.rds', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

I run this code and get this error message, what am I doing wrong?

enrollment_by_race_ethnicity %>% 
  filter(district == "Beaverton SD 48J") %>% 
  filter(year == "2018-2019") %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = percent_of_total_at_school,
             y = race_ethnicity)) +
  geom_col()

Error in filter(., district == "Beaverton SD 48J") : object 'enrollment_by_race_ethnicity' not found

Please advise - I was able to read the rds data and I can see it in the environment pane, but when I use the same code that you shared, I get an error, it says object not found, even though I can see the data on the environment frame.

Which week did we make the RDS file that we are supposed to use for this assignment?

Thank you, Mychal

Hi -

I get the x-y axis (labeled appropriately) but no data plotted......and no error messages.....

Hi David, I got blank chart when running below code... Not sure what is wrong enrollment_by_race_ethinicity %>% filter(year=="2018_2019") %>% filter(district=="Beaverton SD 48J") %>% mutate(percent_of_total_at_school=percentage_of_students) %>%

view()

ggplot(aes(x=percent_of_total_at_school,y=race_ethinicity)) geom_col()
