Week 9/29 – 10/03

This week, I looked at a couple of questions and formulated more questions based on those questions I asked and the visuals I created with R

Q: Which states have the highest number of unarmed or replica weapon cases

Q: The distribution of armed status by race

I created a map and a bar graph to represent the data

I asked ChatGPT to create the graphs I needed in R to represent the data and ask further questions

Questions I will try and ask and create visuals for next week:

Q: Does ‘armed’ status vary more by race or by region

Q: Do some races show a broader age range in fatal encounters

Q: Is poverty correlated with higher total shootings or higher unarmed proportions?

Q: Are states with larger Black or Hispanic populations showing different correlations?

These questions focus more on race and location

Week 9/22 – 9/26

This week, I looked at the following question and made a visual to go along with the question:

Q: What is the number of armed/unarmed cases by state

I asked ChatGPT to create a bar graph using R

The graph showed that California had the most cases and Wyoming had the least

I used this data to ask other questions and create a map showing which areas had the most cases.
