hotels <- read_csv("./data/hotels.csv")Warm up! Take a look at an overview of the data with the skim() function.
Note: I already gave you the answer to this exercise. You just need to knit the document and view the output. A definition of all variables is given in the Data dictionary section at the end, though you don’t need to familiarize yourself with all variables in order to work through these exercises.

Are people traveling on a whim? Let’s see…
Fill in the blanks for filtering for hotel bookings where the guest is not from the US (country code "USA") and the lead_time is less than 1 day.
Note: You will need to set eval=TRUE when you have an answer you want to try out.
hotels %>%
filter(
country ____ "USA",
lead_time ____ ____
)How many bookings involve at least 1 child or baby?
In the following chunk, replace
[AT LEAST] with the logical operator for “at least” (in two places)[OR] with the logical operator for “or”Note: You will need to set eval=TRUE when you have an answer you want to try out.
hotels %>%
filter(
children [AT LEAST] 1 [OR] babies [AT LEAST] 1
)Do you think it’s more likely to find bookings with children or babies in city hotels or resort hotels? Test your intuition. Using filter() determine the number of bookings in resort hotels that have more than 1 child or baby in the room? Then, do the same for city hotels, and compare the numbers of rows in the resulting filtered data frames.

# pay attention to correctness and code style# add code here
# pay attention to correctness and code styleCreate a frequency table of the number of adults in a booking. Display the results in descending order so the most common observation is on top. What is the most common number of adults in bookings in this dataset? Are there any surprising results?
Note: Don’t forget to label your R chunk as well (where it says label-me-1). Your label should be short, informative, and shouldn’t include spaces. It also shouldn’t repeat a previous label, otherwise R Markdown will give you an error about repeated R chunk labels.
# add code here
# pay attention to correctness and code styleRepeat Exercise 5, once for canceled bookings (is_canceled coded as 1) and once for not canceled bookings (is_canceled coded as 0). What does this reveal about the surprising results you spotted in the previous exercise?
Note: Don’t forget to label your R chunk as well (where it says label-me-2).
# add code here
# pay attention to correctness and code styleCalculate minimum, mean, median, and maximum average daily rate (adr) grouped by hotel type so that you can get these statistics separately for resort and city hotels. Which type of hotel is higher, on average?
# add code here
# pay attention to correctness and code styleWe observe two unusual values in the summary statistics above – a negative minimum, and a very high maximum). What types of hotels are these? Locate these observations in the dataset and find out the arrival date (year and month) as well as how many people (adults, children, and babies) stayed in the room. You can investigate the data in the viewer to locate these values, but preferably you should identify them in a reproducible way with some code.
Hint: For example, you can filter for the given adr amounts and select the relevant columns.

# pay attention to correctness and code styleBelow is the full data dictionary. Note that it is long (there are lots of variables in the data), but we will be using a limited set of the variables for our analysis.
