Mutate the data frame so that it includes a new variable that contains the average speed, avg_speed traveled by the plane for each journey (in mph). What is the tail number of the plane with the fastest avg_speed? Hint: Average speed can be calculated as distance divided by number of hours of travel, and note that air_time is given in minutes. If you just want to show the avg_speed and tailnum and none of the other variables, use the select function at the end of your pipe to select just these two variables with select(avg_speed, tailnum). You can google this tail number to find out more about the aircraft.
