Visualization

Using Tableau, create visualization for each question in the report. You will work on this independently just like last week.

To include a Tableau visualization in your report, take a screenshot, save it as an image, put it in the learning/week4 folder, and replace ![screenshot](screenshot.png) with your own image. Please makes sure your screenshot includes the entire Tableau interface including the controls, widgets ...etc.
