This file contains a set of tasks that you need to complete in R for the lab assignment. The tasks may require you to add a code chuck, type code into a chunk, and/or execute code. Some tasks may also ask you to answer specific questions. You need to make sure that you place the chunk(s) of code in the appropriate sections of the document. For example, you need to put the two chunks of code required to complete Task #2 in that section. Do not put those chunks under Task #1 or Task #3. Don’t forget that you need to acknowledge if you used any resources to complete the assignment.
Instructions associated with this assignment can be found in the file “Instructions Getting Started in R.rmd”.
