Data Visualization: Histogram

R Easy Data Visualization Histogram

A dataset contains information about people on board the Titanic when it sank. The data has variables that indicate whether passengers survived the sinking
or not, how old they were (Age), their gender (Gender), and what price they paid for their ticket (Fare).

A portion of the data is shown in the table below.

Survived Gender Age Fare

0 male 22 7.2500

1 female 38 71.2833

1 female 26 7.9250

1 female 35 53.1000

The data is stored in the object titanic.

The requirement is to:

1. Generate two overlaying histograms for the variable Fare in one plot, one histogram for the fare distribution of males and one for the fare distribution
of females.
2. Add a density cure to the plot for each histogram.
3. The histogram bins are supposed to cover ranges of 5 and have "Fare" and "Count" as labels for the x and y axis, respectively.

23/55

 Target Value

Medium Algorithms

Given an initial value of x and a target value, determine the minimum number of operations needed to make x equal to the target.

In each operation, the value of i is added to or subtracted from x so either x = x + i or x = x - i. The value of i starts at 1, and after each operation, i is
incremented by 1.

Example
x=4
target = 2

x - i = 4 - 1 = 3, i + 1 = 2
x + 2 = 5, i = 3
x-3=2

In this case, it takes 3 operations to change x to the target value.

Sometimes, watching elections in other countries is like being at a sports match when your team is not involved. At other times, you care about the results
as desperately as you would back in India. These recent U.K. snap elections shape-shifted from beginning to end. At first, staying with the sports analogy, it
was as if a walkover was declared — the incompetent in-Corbynites were a shambles about to be boiled in further shambolifying oil by Turgid Theresa of
The Terrible Tories; the Labour Party was dead and Britain was about to become a one-party state. Then May stumbled and kept stumbling, while Corbyn,
with a charming, easy, 'nothing to lose but our chains' attitude began to make inroads. When May was asked about the naughtiest thing she had ever done,
she Enid Blytonified herself and smarmed cutely that she had once run through a field of wheat and the farmer had not been pleased. When Corbyn was
asked the same question, he winked and said it was too naughty to talk about, throwing up visions of perhaps a quite different, D.H. Lawrencian, use of a
field of wheat.

When May refused to join the all-party debate on TV, Corbyn replied that he wouldn't participate either if May wasn't coming, but then (naughty boy) he
wrong-footed everyone by finding time at the last minute to appear with the other party leaders, making May look cowardly and arrogant. The debate was
a turning point when all the Opposition leaders ganged up on the hapless Amber Rudd who was standing in for May, accusing the Prime Minister of being a)
too scared, and b) too lordly to come to a debate with them.

When things go wrong in a game, they can cascade, a shot that would normally go for four or six gets skied into a dolly catch, you miss a goal from two yards
while breaking your leg, and so on. Thus, the two horrible terror attacks in Manchester and London, which should normally have shored up May as the
strongest-on-security candidate, instead opened the can of worms on police cuts that she had made as Home Minister. And, finally, the nation's youngsters
actually woke up and got out of bed on voting day. In any case, the Tories won but lost, and Labour lost but won. The outcome was almost, nay completely,
perfect for Jezza Corbyn: he had gained hugely while avoiding taking over the country at the time of great chaos; the Tories were badly damaged but still in
charge of the mess they had created; their goose could now be cooked slowly and properly with the edibility potentially lasting over a longer period.
An analogy between sports and election campaigns is maintained throughout the passage. The expression 'wrong-foot', when applied to sports would
mean which of the following?

engage in foul play

play so well as to catch an opponent off balance

play skillfully

play defensively

Sometimes, watching elections in other countries is like being at a sports match when your team is not involved. At other times, you care about the results
as desperately as you would back in India. These recent U.K. snap elections shape-shifted from beginning to end. At first, staying with the sports analogy, it
was as if a walkover was declared — the incompetent in-Corbynites were a shambles about to be boiled in further shambolifying oil by Turgid Theresa of
The Terrible Tories; the Labour Party was dead and Britain was about to become a one-party state. Then May stumbled and kept stumbling, while Corbyn,
with a charming, easy, 'nothing to lose but our chains' attitude began to make inroads. When May was asked about the naughtiest thing she had ever done,
she Enid Blytonified herself and smarmed cutely that she had once run through a field of wheat and the farmer had not been pleased. When Corbyn was
asked the same question, he winked and said it was too naughty to talk about, throwing up visions of perhaps a quite different, D.H. Lawrencian, use of a
field of wheat.

When May refused to join the all-party debate on TV, Corbyn replied that he wouldn't participate either if May wasn't coming, but then (naughty boy) he
wrong-footed everyone by finding time at the last minute to appear with the other party leaders, making May look cowardly and arrogant. The debate was
a turning point when all the Opposition leaders ganged up on the hapless Amber Rudd who was standing in for May, accusing the Prime Minister of being a)
too scared, and b) too lordly to come to a debate with them.
