Edit the code chunks below and knit the document.
In the console, type the following:
1 + 2
a <- 1
b <- 2
a + b
Look at the Environment tab in the upper right pane. Set the variable
how_many_objects
below to the number of objects listed in
the environment.
how_many_objects <- 2
Use the rnorm()
function to generate 10 random values
from a normal distribution with a mean of 800 and a standard deviation
of 20, and store the resulting vector in the object
random_vals
.
random_vals <- rnorm(10, 800, 20)
Use the help function to figure out what argument you need to set to
ignore NA
values when calculating the mean of
the_values
. Change the function below to store the mean of
the_values
in the variable the_mean
.
the_values <- c(1,1,1,2,3,4,6,8,9,9, NA) # do not alter this line
the_mean <- mean(the_values, na.rm = TRUE)
Figure out what the function seq()
does. Use the
function to set tens
to the vector
c(0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 ,60, 70 ,80 ,90, 100)
. Set
bins6
to the cutoffs if you wanted to divide the numbers 0
to 100 into 6 bins. For example, dividing 0 to 100 into 4 bins results
in the cutoffs c(0, 25, 50, 75, 100)
,
tens <- seq(from = 0, to = 100, by = 10)
bins6 <- seq(0, 100, length.out = 7)
Figure out how to use the paste()
function to paste
together strings with forward slashes (“/”) instead of spaces. Use
paste()
to set my_dir
to
“my/project/directory”.
my_dir <- paste("my", "project", "directory", sep = "/")
Install the CRAN package called “cowsay”. Run the code to do this and include it in the code chunk below, but comment it out. It is bad practice to write a script that installs a package without the user having the option to cancel. Also, some packages take a long time to load, so you won’t want to install them every time you run a script.
# comment out the installation code
# install.packages("cowsay")
The code below has an error and won’t run. Fix the code.
cowsay::say()
cowsay::say(by = "pumpkin")
cowsay::say(by_color = "blue")
