R Basics

You can insert an R code chunk into an R Markdown document by using a keyboard shortcut. The default keyboard shortcut to insert an R code is:

Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Alt + I Mac: Command + Option + I

Make sure to comment on your code using #

Problem 1:

  1. From set = {1.5, 15, 0, 54, 23}, pick two numbers and perform the Following Operations:

.Subtraction .Multiplication .square root

#Subtraction
15+54
## [1] 69
#Multiplication
25*5
## [1] 125
#Square Root
sqrt(5)
## [1] 2.236068

Problem 2

Suppose you have a set of numbers representing the assignments scores:

scores <- c(87,100, 91, 95, 81.5, 0, 39, 74, 92)

#Calculate the average of the scores, and round your answer to two decimal number
mean(scores)
## [1] 73.27778
round(mean(scores),2)
## [1] 73.28
#Find the Maximum and Minimum score
max(scores)
## [1] 100
min(scores)
## [1] 0
#Find how many scores were above the average, use coding for this
scores > mean(scores)
## [1]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE
#Create a new set called new_scores that includes the elements from indices 2 to 6 of the scores vector
new_scores <- scores[2:6]

Problem 3:

Read section 2.3, then answer the following questions

# Create a vector with the number 1 repeated 5 times. Print it
my_seq <- rep(1, times = 5) 
my_seq
## [1] 1 1 1 1 1
# Create a vector with a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10 with a step of 2. Print it
my_num <- seq(from = 1, to = 10, by = 2)
my_num
## [1] 1 3 5 7 9
# Create a vector by repeating a sequence from 1 to 3, 2 times. Print it.
my_vec <- rep(seq(from = 1, to = 3), times = 2)
my_vec
## [1] 1 2 3 1 2 3

Problem 4

mixed_vector <- c(1, "two", 3.0, TRUE, 2)


# Check the class of the vector
class(mixed_vector)
## [1] "character"
## Coerce to numeric and print it 
as.numeric(mixed_vector)
## Warning: NAs introduced by coercion
## [1]  1 NA  3 NA  2
