Make histograms with base graphics
hist(diamonds$carat) hist(diamonds$carat, main="Carat Histogram", xlab = "Carat")
Make scatterplots with base graphics
plot(diamonds$carat , diamonds$price) # another way to do that plot(price ~ carat, data = diamonds) # label modification plot(price ~ carat, data = diamonds, main = "Price vs Carat")
Make boxplots with base graphics
boxplot(diamonds$carat)
