Directions
Using RMarkdown in RStudio, complete the following questions. Launch RStudio and open a new RMarkdown file and save it on your working directory as a name.Rmd file. At the end of the activity, knit your document to pdf generated from RMarkdown+Knitr and submit your homework on the Blackboard.
If you have questions, please post them on the lesson discussion board.
All Two questions are mandatory.
R code and output must be clearly shown.
Homework submitted after the due date will attract a penalty of 10 points per day after the due date.
