:::

  1. Setting Bin Width. What argument in geom_histogram() controls the width of the bins? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Controlling the Number of Bins. Which argument in geom_histogram() sets the number of bins directly? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adding Color to Bins. To add color to the bars in a histogram, which aesthetic should you specify? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Making Bars Semi-Transparent. Which parameter can you use to make the bars semi-transparent in a ggplot2 histogram? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adjusting Axis Labels. How would you modify the x-axis label in a histogram created with ggplot2? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Using Different Colors for Bins Based on Group. If you want to color histogram bins by a categorical variable in your data, which aesthetic would you add? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Overlapping Histograms. When overlaying histograms for two different groups, which position argument can prevent the bars from overlapping entirely? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Customizing Histogram Themes. Which function is used to apply a minimalist theme to a ggplot2 histogram? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Log Transformation. To apply a logarithmic scale to the x-axis of a histogram in ggplot2, which function would you use? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adding Density Curve. Which ggplot2 function adds a smooth density curve over a histogram? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adding a Title to the Plot. Which function allows you to add a title to a ggplot2 histogram? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Plotting Frequency Counts on the y-Axis. By default, what does ggplot2 display on the y-axis of a histogram? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Changing y-Axis to Density. Which argument can you add to geom_histogram() to plot density rather than counts on the y-axis? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Customizing Bin Borders. To add a border color around each bin in a histogram, which aesthetic should you specify? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Showing Cumulative Counts. Which function would you use to create a cumulative frequency histogram in ggplot2? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adjusting the Position of the Legend. To place the legend at the top of a ggplot2 histogram, which code would you add? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Horizontal Histogram. To flip a histogram so the bars are horizontal rather than vertical, which function can you use? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adding Custom Bin Breaks. To manually define specific breaks for the bins in geom_histogram(), which argument can you use? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Faceting Histograms. To create a histogram with separate panels for each level of a categorical variable, which function should you use? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Overlaying Histograms with position. When creating histograms for multiple groups on the same plot, which position argument is typically used to overlap the bars? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adding Custom Axis Labels. If you want to label the x-axis as “Height (cm)” and y-axis as “Frequency” in a histogram, which function would you use? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Defining Bin Boundaries. Which argument allows you to specify the starting point for bins in geom_histogram()? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Removing Grid Lines. To remove the grid lines from a histogram, which theme function could you use? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adjusting Bar Width and Bar Spacing. To adjust the width of each bin to fill all available space in a histogram, which argument would you modify? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Showing Proportions Instead of Counts. To display proportions (relative frequencies) instead of counts in a histogram, which y aesthetic setting would you use in geom_histogram()? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Displaying Vertical and Horizontal Grid Lines. Which ggplot2 theme function includes both vertical and horizontal grid lines by default? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Removing Axis Text and Ticks. To remove axis text and tick marks from a histogram, which function is appropriate? ::: {.cell}

:::

  1. Adding a Caption to the Plot. To add a caption (text at the bottom) to your histogram plot, which argument in labs() would you use? ::: {.cell}
