Tips / Hints

• In Task 2, one of the prompts asks "What were the variable(s) that will be added?" To clarify, you are looking for any variable(s) now existing in the Corrected data frame, that had not been available in the the OrdwayBirds data frame.

• In Task 3, you pick your own threshold. Whichever threshold you pick, make sure it satisfies the requirements of the task.

• In Task 4, Use the ggplot template code provided to create the graph(s). Remark: You can also use esquisser() or mplot() to create plot that you think would be helpful, but this is not required.
