Assignment #1

 INSTALL R AND RSTUDIO

1.)  I already had RStudio installed, so it did not take too long. Since I hadn't been using RStudio in a while, I received a notification stating that I needed to update it to the latest version. Then it sent me to visit cran.rstudio.com, where I updated it to the latest version, which took a couple of minutes.

2.)  I had no problems other than it taking a couple of minutes to update it since my laptop is older.

3.)  I am using Windows 10, and my current R version is 4.4.1, and RStudio version is 2025.05.1 Build 513.





READ FOUNDATIONAL CHAPTERS

1.)  R vector holds everything together in a code. Holds and stores data making it the heart of R. 

2.)  Vectors are fundamental to data analysis in R because vectors store and keep the information you input, which is then put in order, and then it is later built into tables or graphs. In summary, vectors help analyze and organize information, which is why vectors are the heart of R.

Assignment #5: Matrix Algebra in R

Image
 1.) det(A) works because "A" which is 10x10 is a square so when det(A) is returned it is 0 meaning it is singular. That is why solve(A) does not work, it cannot invert a singular matrix. A zero determinant means the matrix is singular, so it does not have an inverse.  2.) Operations on B fail because "B" is 10x100, which is not a square, and determinants and inverses are defined by square matrices, hence why it did not work. A matrix has an inverse if two things are true its a square where it has the same rows and columns and its determinant is ≠ 0 3.) Since A has no inverse and B is not a square, both can still be used in a matrix multiplication with "%%". In numeric stability, if a determinant is close to 0 which is an example of A from solve() it can be unreliable due to rounding error.

Module #3 Assignment #3 Analyzing 2016 data "Poll" Data in R

Image
  1.) Looking at the candidates' (Names) key patterns, I noticed that CBS was shown more throughout the candidates. Donald also has the highest poll numbers. Ted also has a mix of CBS and ABC, but more CBS.  2.) Using made-up data does have its limitations. This can introduce bias and distortion, as evident in the data. CBS is more used compared to ABC.  3.) In a real analysis, I would collect data by creating a survey and inserting polls in there. I could include poll questions that ask about candidate preferences or approval ratings, then record and organize the responses.

Module #2 Assignment Importing Dara Function Evaluation in R

Image
  1.) There was an error because "assignment" was not found. 2.) The function failed. The first line in R, assignment2, is a vector holding all the numbers. In the third line of code, "assignment" should be replaced with "assignment2", since that’s the vector we made earlier. We also want the length of "someData", but "someData" was never created, so that should also be changed to "assignment2". Lastly, we want to find the mean of assignment2, so we run myMean(assignment2)
