[R] Running CSV File

[Li DiJulia]

On my computer, I saved the file as Cancer Data. csv. When I tried to put
the "Cancer Data.csv"  in the working directory, under "source file," it
says the currently active source file is not saved so doesn't have a
directory to change into. I also tried to put it in the "choose directory"
and my file would not show. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

When I tried to run the data set in R studio, I get unexpected symbol in
"g<-read.csv("cancer data.csv," header",despite writing g<-read.csv
("cancer data.csv," header=TRUE, sep=',').

When I ran a Chi Square test, it said "object not found." I don't know what
I am doing wrong

Thanks.

Attached are the files of the error message I am getting.
