[R] Data Analysis for Gas Prices

[B77S]

use a < ? > to get help on a function; example:

?read.table

If you do this you will see an option called "header"...  
use header=T if your top row contains column names.  

Learn how to read these help pages.  Also, read thru a few beginner R
manuals and see this website:
http://www.statmethods.net/interface/io.html

As for the rest of your questions..... 
Perhaps this is your sign to begin reading a intro-stats book, or inquire on
a different forum.

good luck
