Using gun_deaths from the rcis library, answer the following question:
For each education category, how many white males where killed in 2012?
Write your code using all four methods:
- Intermediate steps
- Overwrite the original
- Function composition

gun_deaths1 <- filter(gun_deaths, sex == "M", race == "White", year == 2012)
gun_deaths2 <- group_by(gun_deaths1, education)
(gun_deaths3 <- summarize(gun_deaths2, n = n()))

Overwrite the original
Hint: make sure to save a copy of gun_deaths as gun_deaths2 for this code chunk.
Click for the solution
gun_deaths2 <- gun_deaths # copy for demonstration purposes
gun_deaths2 <- filter(gun_deaths2, sex == "M", race == "White", year == 2012)
gun_deaths2 <- group_by(gun_deaths2, education)
(gun_deaths2 <- summarize(gun_deaths2, n = n()))

Note that all methods produce the same answer. But which did you find easiest to implement?
