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:

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

.Subtraction .Multiplication .square root

# Define numbers
num1 <- 15
num2 <- 1.5

# Subtraction
num1 - num2

## [1] 13.5

# Multiplication
num1 * num2

## [1] 22.5

# Square root of 54
sqrt(54)

## [1] 7.348469

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
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
sum(scores > mean(scores))

## [1] 7

#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]
new_scores

## [1] 100.0  91.0  95.0  81.5   0.0

Problem 3:

Read section 2.3, then answer the following questions

# Create a vector with the number 1 repeated 5 times. Print it
rep(1, 5)

## [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
seq(1, 10, by = 2)

## [1] 1 3 5 7 9

# Create a vector by repeating a sequence from 1 to 3, 2 times. Print it.
rep(1:3, 2)

## [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 
numeric_vec <- suppressWarnings(as.numeric(mixed_vector))
print(numeric_vec)
