[R] Very basic statistics in R

[Jeff Newmiller]

I recommend you read the Introduction to R document that comes with R. Look for making vectors with the c() function, and using the mean() and sd() functions. 

Note that this is not a homework help forum (read the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of every message). If this is not homework, you are going to need to do quite a bit of self study before you can ask questions clearly enough to get useful responses on this list. See
