Hey there,

I'm relatively new to R, and am currently working my way through some basic
tutorials. I have a large data set that I've been able to import into the
program. I'm using a script in which x=readdir (the directory). I am trying
to create a histogram of the data in the 17th column, which is response
time data ranging from ~200 to 15000. I have tried to create a histogram by
entering hist(x[,17]). However, the output that I receive has an x-axis
that is wayyy out with small values like 0e+00 up to 6e+05. All the data is
clustered together in one bar at 0e+00 and has a frequency of 15000 on the
y-axis. What am I doing wrong? How can I change the output so that I can
assess the shape of the distribution?
