✍️ Exploring Gapminder

The following exercises help you explore real-world development data using ggplot2 and gapminder.


🧠 Challenge Exercise: Explore a Development Pattern

Before seeing any example plots, try to visualize the following:

How does a country’s population size relate to life expectancy and income level?

Your task: Create a visualization using the gapminder dataset for the year 2007 that captures the relationship between:

  • lifeExp: Life expectancy
  • gdpPercap: GDP per capita
  • pop: Population

You may use any type of plot or mapping of variables (e.g. color, size), but aim to show all three variables clearly.
