       library(dplyr)
       iris

6. To run the code, in the menu bar, click Cell then select Run Cells, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Enter.

       ggplot(data=iris, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=Sepal.Width, color=Species)) + geom_point(size=3)

9. To run the code, in the menu bar, click Cell then select Run Cells, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Enter.
