Assignment Unit 2

Course Unit: MATH 1280 - Introduction to Statistics

Course Instructor: SP Chan

Student name:

Date: 24th November 2022


1. Sometimes it is difficult to understand data if you do not know what the
numbers represent. Provide short definitions of two words: sepal,
and petal (be sure to cite your sources even if you paraphrase):

Sepal: ____ Each calyx component of a flower, which encloses the petals and
is often green but also leaf-like.

Petal: __ Every one of the modified leaf-like corolla segments, that are usually
colored, on a flower.

2. There is a cumulative relative frequency table printed above for petal


lengths (using rounded values for petal length). Below the number 3 in that
table is the number .35. What does .35 represent? (multiple choice)

d. Of all the flowers measured in this sample 35% had a petal length of 3 or
less (after rounding the petal lengths).

3. Using only the cumulative relative frequency table printed above


combined with some simple paper-and-pencil calculations, which petal
length occurs most frequently?

4 and 5

4. Describe how you determined your answer to the previous question


(describe the calculations that you used). Do not show R code for this task--it
will not be counted as an answer. _Petal relative length = (previous
cumulative frequency less current cumulative frequency) most frequent is
the highest number.

5. Assuming that you read the flowers.csv file into an R object called
flower.data, run the following R code (do not paste the ">” character into R)
and paste both the command and the output into your answer (you should
see five names, each of which should be enclosed in quotes--if you do not
see this, try again or contact your instructor):

> names(flower.data)

[1] "Sepal.Length" "Sepal.Width" "Petal.Length" "Petal.Width" "Species"

6. The number of observations in the "flower.data" data frame is: __150__.

7. List the variables in the data frame (you can do this by entering the name
of the R object that holds that data that you read using the read.csv
command--you should have called it flower.data). If you do not see five
columns of data, then there was a problem reading the input file--try again
or contact your instructor. For each variable identify the type of the variable
(factor or numeric).
The name and type of the 1st variable:__ Sepal.Lenght, numeric
The name and type of the 2nd variable:__ Sepal.Width, numeric
The name and type of the 3nd variable:__ Petal.Lenght, numeric
The name and type of the 4nd variable:__ Petal.Width, numeric
The name and type of the 5nd variable: __ Species, factor

8. Round the data for the variable Sepal.Length so that it contains integers,
then find the frequency of the value 7 (not the relative frequency): __24

Assuming that you read the flowers.csv file into an R object called
flower.data, run the following R code (do not paste the ">” character into R).
Note that we are not rounding the numbers here. Use the output for the next
five tasks:

> table(flower.data$Sepal.Width)
> plot(table(flower.data$Sepal.Width))

9. What is the sum of the first three frequencies in the frequency table for
sepal width? _8____

10. What does your answer to the previous question represent (in terms of
sepal width and frequency and the percentage of all sepal measurements)
____ 8 sepal ≤ to 2.3

11. What is the sum of the last three frequencies in the frequency table for
sepal width? __3___

12. How many flowers in the sample had sepal widths less than 4 (do NOT
round the sepal width numbers for this, but you can round your final answer
to 3 decimal places)? _________

13. What does the tallest bar in the plot represent? (multiple choice)
b. mode

14. Create a frequency table that shows the frequencies for each species of
flower in the sample. Paste your R command and output into your answer
(do NOT display data from a data frame, display data using the table()
command)_________

15. Explain two things about the table that you created for the previous task:

Why did the frequency table for flower species contain words in the first row
as opposed to numbers?_they are factors___
What is the meaning of the numbers in the second row of the table? _ they
represent frequency of the species in the sample.
