- Use
select()to create a new data frame with just theyear,month,day, andspecies_idcolumns in that order. - Use
mutate(),select(), andfilter()with!is.na()to create a new data frame with theyear,species_id, and weight in kilograms of each individual, with no null weights. The weight in the table is given in grams so you will need to create a new column for weight in kilograms by dividing the weight column by 1000. - Use the
filter()function to get all of the rows in the data frame for the species IDSH.
