Solution Manual for
Introduction to Data Science Part I
R 1
Chapter 2: R basics
1.1 Section 2.3 Exercises
1. What is the sum of the first 100 positive integers? The formula for the sum of integers 1
through nisn(n+ 1)/2. Define n= 100 and then use R to compute the sum of 1through
100 using the formula. What is the sum?
Answer:
n <-100 # define n
n*(n+1)/2 # note use of multiplication symbol and parentheses
#> [1] 5050
2. Now use the same formula to compute the sum of the integers from 1 through 1,000.
Answer:
n <-1000 # change definition of n
n*(n+1)/2 # same formula as Q1
#> [1] 5e+05
3. Look at the result of typing the following code into R:
n <-1000
x <-seq(1, n)
sum(x)
Based on the result, what do you think the functions seq andsum do? Y ou can use help .
A.sum creates a list of numbers and seq adds them up.
B.seq creates a list of numbers and sum adds them up.
C.seq creates a random list and sum computes the sum of 1 through 1,000.
D.sum always returns the same number.
Answer:
B. Y ou can check the documentation using ?seq and?sum .
4. In math and programming, we say that we evaluate a function when we replace the
argument with a given number. So if we type sqrt(4) , we evaluate the sqrt function. In
R, you can evaluate a function inside another function. The evaluations happen from the
inside out. Use one line of code to compute the log, in base 10, of the square root of 100.
13 14 1 Chapter 2: R basics
Answer:
log10(sqrt(100) ) ##equivalent to: log(sqrt(100), base = 10)
#> [1] 1
5. Which of the following will always return the numeric value stored in x? Y ou can try out
examples and use the help system if you want.
A.log(10^x)
B.log10(x^10)
C.log(exp(x))
D.exp(log(x, base = 2))
Answer:
C. In R,log has a default base of e. Therefore, log andexp are inverse functions.
1.2 Section 2.5 Exercises
1. Load the US murders dataset.
library(dslabs)
data("murders" )
Use the function str to examine the structure of the murders object. W e can see that this
object is a data frame with 51 rows and five columns. Which of the following best describes
the variables represented in this data frame:
A. The 51 states
B. The murder rates for all 50 states and DC
C. The state name, the abbreviation of the state name, the state’s region, and the state’s
population and total number of murders for 2010
D.str shows no relevant information
Answer:
C. Check the output of the code str(murders) .
2. What are the column names used by the data frame for these five variables?
Answer:
names(murders) # find column names
#> [1] "state" "abb" "region" "population" "total"
3. Use the accessor $to extract the state abbreviations and assign them to the object a.
What is the class of this object?
