[R] Please help with one problem

[Sarah Goslee]

My first instinct is to suggest that you ask your professor or TA for
help, since this looks remarkably like a homework problem. We are
not here to do your work for you.

Failing that, what have you tried? Have you gotten error messages or
otherwise gone wrong? We will help with specific R questions presented
with complete information as described in the posting guide. This isn't
an R question.
