Hi,

Probably you could check this:
>?quantile

Particularly the 'type' option.

Best Regards,

Clearly, this is not right. My Instructor and I have no idea why the program
does that. I removed the program from the computer , installed it again and
it still shows the mistake.  It is also strange, that I chose "english" as
installlanguage, but the program is in german (my OS is in german).

Pls help, because otherwise i cannot solve any problems with R.

Using Win7 and R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30).
