This is such a simple task that it is difficult to tell what very basic 
aspects of R you need help with. If you don't know what a data 
transformation is, or what it is for, then what should be obvious might 
not be [1] and this is not a stats theory forum [2]. And if you have no 
clue how to put data into R or perform basic calculations with it then you 
should be reading the "Introduction to R" [3] or taking a course. And if 
you are now taking a course, then you should be asking your instructor for 
assistance per the Posting Guide (no homework on this list).

If this is not homework and you understand the theory and have a basic 
grasp of R syntax then you can clarify what you are stuck on by providing 
a reproducible example [4] of the R code that gets you to where you are 
stuck, including both sample data and code. Then we can narrow down the 
scope of discussion. Don't forget to switch your email program to plain 
text so your hard work (yes, asking questions by email isn't easy) does 
not get damaged by HTML formatting.
