1) What is a vector?
R uses various classes to represent different data types and structures. Some key classes
include:
You call a function in R by typing its name, followed by parentheses () enclosing any
necessary arguments. For example:
```R
mean(c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)) # Calling the mean function
```
4) What is plotting?
Plotting is the creation of visual representations of data. It's a crucial part of data analysis,
allowing for the exploration of patterns, trends, and relationships within data. Different types
of plots (scatter plots, bar charts, histograms, etc.) are used to represent different kinds of
data and relationships.
Common probability mass functions (PMFs) describe the probability distribution of discrete
random variables. Examples include:
• t-tests: Used to compare the means of two groups when the population standard deviation
is unknown.
• Confidence intervals for the mean: Constructing confidence intervals for the population
mean when the population standard deviation is unknown.
In R, a factor is a data type used to represent categorical variables. It's essentially a vector
where each element is assigned a level (a category). Factors are particularly useful because
they allow R to efficiently handle and analyze categorical data. They also improve the
readability and interpretability of statistical analyses.
```R
levels(factor_colors) # Output: [1] "blue" "green" "red"
```
```R
nlevels(factor_colors) # Output: 3
```
Factors are essential for statistical modeling because they correctly represent categorical
variables, which are often crucial predictors in statistical analyses (e.g., ANOVA, regression).
Improper handling of categorical data (by treating them as numeric) can lead to flawed
analyses.
• Other Operators:
* :: Sequence operator (creates a sequence of numbers)
* %in%: Membership operator (checks if an element is in a vector)
Understanding these operators is fundamental for writing effective R code. The precedence
of operators (order of operations) is also important to get correct results.
12) Explain uniform distribution with respect to probability density function with an example
(6 marks)
A uniform distribution is a probability distribution where all outcomes within a given range are
equally likely. The probability density function (PDF) for a continuous uniform distribution is
constant over the interval [a, b] and zero elsewhere:
f(x) = 1 / (b - a) for a ≤ x ≤ b
f(x) = 0 otherwise
Where 'a' is the minimum value and 'b' is the maximum value of the interval. The total area
under the PDF curve is always 1.
Example:
Consider a random variable X representing the time (in minutes) a customer spends waiting
in a queue at a bank. Suppose the waiting time is uniformly distributed between 2 and 8
minutes (a = 2, b = 8).
The probability that a customer waits between 3 and 5 minutes is given by the integral of the
PDF from 3 to 5:
In R:
13) What is cumulative sum, product, minimum, maximum? Explain with R program (6
marks)
• cumsum(): Calculates the cumulative sum of a vector. Each element is the sum of all
preceding elements plus itself.
• cumprod(): Calculates the cumulative product of a vector. Each element is the product of all
preceding elements plus itself.
• cummin(): Calculates the cumulative minimum of a vector. Each element is the minimum
value encountered so far in the vector.
• cummax(): Calculates the cumulative maximum of a vector. Each element is the maximum
value encountered so far in the vector.

14) Explain data visualization techniques with neat diagrams (6 marks) (Note: I can't create
diagrams here, but I can describe them.)
Data visualization uses graphical representations to display, analyze, and present data.
Several techniques exist, suited to different data types and aims:
• Histograms: Show the distribution of a single numerical variable. They divide the data into
bins (intervals) and show the frequency or relative frequency of data points within each bin.
(Diagram: A bar chart with bins on the x-axis and frequency on the y-axis.)
• Scatter Plots: Show the relationship between two numerical variables. Each point
represents a data point, with its x and y coordinates corresponding to the values of the two
variables. Used to identify correlations. (Diagram: A graph with x and y axes, and points
scattered across the plane.)
• Box Plots: Display the distribution of a numerical variable, showing median, quartiles, and
outliers. Useful for comparing distributions across different groups. (Diagram: A box with a
line representing the median, the box showing the interquartile range, and whiskers
extending to show the range of the data, excluding outliers.)
• Bar Charts: Show the frequencies or proportions of categorical data. Each bar represents a
category. (Diagram: A vertical or horizontal bar chart with categories on one axis and
frequency/proportion on the other.)
• Line Charts: Display trends in data over time or other ordered variables. Useful for showing
changes over a continuous variable. (Diagram: A line graph with the x-axis representing time
or an ordered variable, and the y-axis representing the value.)
• Pie Charts: Show proportions of a whole. Each slice represents a category, and its size is
proportional to its proportion. (Diagram: A circle divided into slices.)*
One-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical test used to compare the means of
two or more groups (levels of a single independent variable or factor). The goal is to
determine if there's a statistically significant difference between the group means.
Assumptions:
• Independence: Observations within and across groups are independent.
• Normality: The data within each group is approximately normally distributed.
• Homogeneity of variances: The variances of the data within each group are approximately
equal.
How it works:
ANOVA partitions the total variability in the data into two components:
• Between-group variability: The variability between the means of the different groups. A
large between-group variability suggests that the group means are different.
• Within-group variability: The variability of the data points within each group.
This R program creates a matrix from a given vector, allowing the user to specify the number
of rows and columns, and then sets custom row and column names.
# Example usage:
my_vector <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
rows <- 2
cols <- 3
row_labels <- c("Row1", "Row2")
col_labels <- c("ColA", "ColB", "ColC")
This program includes error handling to check if the input vector length matches the
specified dimensions and if the number of row/column names matches the number of
rows/columns. The byrow = TRUE argument ensures that the vector is filled into the matrix
row by row. The function also returns the created matrix, allowing you to use it for further
calculations or analysis within your R script.
Both bar charts and histograms are used to visualize the distribution of data, but they are
appropriate for different data types:
Example:
• Bar Chart: Showing the number of students in different grade levels (e.g., Grade 1, Grade
2, Grade 3). The x-axis would have grade levels, and the y-axis would represent the number
of students.
• Histogram: Showing the distribution of heights of students. The x-axis would be divided into
height ranges (bins, e.g., 150-160 cm, 160-170 cm), and the y-axis would show how many
students fall into each range.
In essence, bar charts are for comparing categorical data, while histograms are for
visualizing the distribution of numerical data.
A t-test is a statistical test used to compare the means of two groups. There are two main
types:
• Independent Samples t-test: Compares the means of two independent groups (e.g.,
comparing the average height of men and women). It assumes that the data within each
group is approximately normally distributed and that the variances of the two groups are
roughly equal (although some t-test versions allow for unequal variances).
• Paired Samples t-test: Compares the means of two related groups (e.g., comparing the
blood pressure of individuals before and after taking medication). It uses the differences
between paired observations as the data.
Let's say we have data on the test scores of students in two different classes:
classA <- c(85, 92, 78, 88, 95, 82, 75, 90)
classB <- c(76, 80, 84, 72, 91, 88, 79, 85)
The output will show the t-statistic, degrees of freedom, p-value, and a confidence interval
for the difference in means. A small p-value (typically less than 0.05) suggests that there's a
statistically significant difference between the average scores of the two classes. If the p-
value is high, you fail to reject the null hypothesis that the means are equal.
Probability functions are mathematical functions that describe the probability distribution of a
random variable. They come in different forms depending on whether the random variable is
discrete or continuous:
• For Discrete Random Variables: The probability function is called a probability mass
function (PMF). It assigns a probability to each possible outcome of the random variable.
The sum of probabilities over all possible outcomes must equal 1. Examples include the
Bernoulli PMF, Binomial PMF, and Poisson PMF.
• For Continuous Random Variables: The probability function is called a probability density
function (PDF). It doesn't give the probability of a single value (the probability of any single
point is infinitesimally small). Instead, the integral of the PDF over an interval gives the
probability that the random variable falls within that interval. The total area under the PDF
curve must be 1. Examples include the Normal PDF, Uniform PDF, and Exponential PDF.
• Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF): Both discrete and continuous random variables
have a CDF, denoted F(x). It gives the probability that the random variable is less than or
equal to a given value x: F(x) = P(X ≤ x). The CDF is always a non-decreasing function.
• Quantile Function (Inverse CDF): The quantile function, often denoted Q(p), gives the value
x such that P(X ≤ x) = p. In other words, it's the inverse of the CDF.
These functions are fundamental tools for describing and working with probability
distributions in statistics and probability theory. They allow you to calculate probabilities,
generate random samples, and make inferences about populations.
ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical test used to compare the means of two or more
groups. It's particularly useful when you have a single independent variable (factor) with
multiple levels (groups).
Types of ANOVA:
Assumptions:
• Independence: Observations are independent of each other, both within and between
groups.
• Normality: Data within each group should be approximately normally distributed.
• Homogeneity of variances: The variance of the data should be roughly equal across
groups.
Let's say we're comparing the yields of three different types of fertilizers:

I. Questions and Answers
1. What is R programming?
- R programming is a statistical programming language and software environment widely
used for data analysis, statistical modeling, and graphical representation.
3. Define vector.
- A vector is a linear array of data elements that all have the same data type.
6. Define Exception in R.
- An exception is an error or condition that interrupts the normal flow of execution in R.
Example:
x <- 5
y <- 2 * x
z <- x + y
In this example, the first command assigns the value 5 to the variable x. The second
command assigns the value 10 (2 times 5) to the variable y. The third command assigns the
value 15 (5 plus 10) to the variable z.
To join two lists in R, you can use the c() function. The c() function takes two or more vectors
or lists as input and returns a single vector or list that contains all of the elements from the
input vectors or lists.
Example:
To remove items from a list in R, you can use the [[-]] operator. The [[-]] operator takes a list
and an index as input and returns the element at the specified index. You can also use the
[[-]] operator to remove elements from a list by assigning the value NULL to the specified
index.
Example:
The list will now contain the following elements: ["a", "b", "d", "e"].
The if statement in R is used to execute code only if a specified condition is true. The syntax
of the if statement is as follows:
if (condition) {
# code to be executed if condition is true
}
Example:
x <- 5
if (x > 0) {
print("x is greater than 0")
}
In this example, the if statement will print "x is greater than 0" to the console because the
condition x > 0 is true.
13.
R provides a number of functions for working with files and directories. These functions allow
you to read and write files, create and delete directories, and perform other file and directory
operations.
The warn option in R controls whether or not warnings are displayed when R encounters a
potential problem. By default, the warn option is set to TRUE, which means that warnings
are displayed. You can set the warn option to FALSE to suppress warnings.
Example:
options(warn = FALSE)
With the warn option set to FALSE, the following code will not display a warning:
* ggplot2 - A package for creating a wide variety of visualizations, including bar charts, line
charts, scatterplots, and maps.
* lattice - A package for creating trellis graphics, which are a type of visualization that allows
you to explore the relationship between multiple variables.
* plotly - A package for creating interactive, web-based visualizations.
* RColorBrewer - A package for creating color palettes for visualizations.
16. What is Normal Distribution? Explain its types in detail with example.
Consider the distribution of weights of adults. The following are examples of normal
distributions:
- Standard normal distribution: Z-score for a weight of 150 pounds might be -0.5, indicating it
is 0.5 standard deviations below the mean.
- Normal distribution with μ =
160 pounds and σ = 10 pounds: The probability of a weight between 150 and 170 pounds is
0.27, indicating a relatively high likelihood.
In R, sampling distributions can be generated using the rnorm() function. This function
generates random numbers from a normal distribution with specified mean and standard
deviation.
For example, to generate a sample of 100 observations from a normal distribution with μ =
100 and σ = 15, use the following code:
The resulting sample object is a vector of 100 random numbers that are approximately
normally distributed.
18. Write a program to calculate the power of a t-test in R using the pwr.t.test function.
Output:
[1] 0.800838
This indicates that with a sample size of 50 per group, an effect size of 0.5, and a
significance level of 0.05, the power of the t-test is approximately 0.8, or 80%.
Advantages:
- Improved model performance: By selecting the best model, prediction accuracy and
generalization ability can be enhanced.
- Parsimony: Linear model selection helps identify the most parsimonious model that
explains the data well, avoiding overfitting.
- Interpretability: Selecting the most relevant variables leads to models that are easier to
understand and interpret.
Disadvantages:
20. Define plotting regions with example. Describe the parameters for defining the plotting.
In R, plotting regions are defined using the layout() function. This function divides the plotting
surface into multiple rectangular regions, allowing the user to plot multiple graphs in a single
window.
Example:
To create a plotting region with two rows and three columns, use the following code:
- matrix(): Specifies the arrangement of the plotting regions in terms of rows and columns.
- nrow: Number of rows in the plotting region.
- ncol: Number of columns in the plotting region.
- heights: Relative heights of the rows.
- widths: Relative widths of the

A nested function is a function defined within another function. It has access to the variables
and parameters of the outer function, providing local scope and modularity.
Example:
plot_circle(5)
In this example, plot_area is a nested function within plot_circle. It calculates the area of a
circle with radius r. plot_circle then calls plot_area to calculate the area of a circle with a
specified radius.
11. Boxplot
A boxplot is a graphical representation of the distribution of data. It provides insights into the
central tendency, variability, and potential outliers.
Example:
boxplot(mtcars$mpg)
The boxplot shows the median (middle line), the upper and lower quartiles (box edges), the
interquartile range (box width), and any outliers (points outside the whiskers).
Syntax:
boxplot(data, ...)
where
# Sample size
n <- 1000
# Number of simulations
simulations <- 5000
# Population mean
mu <- 50
A linear regression line is a straight line that best fits a set of data points. It models the
relationship between a dependent variable (Y) and one or more independent variables (X).
Types:

16. Write a program to calculate the age of a person based on their birthdate.
For example:
if condition1:
if condition2:
# Code to be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are true
else:
# Code to be executed if condition1 is true but condition2 is false
else:
# Code to be executed if condition1 is false
Nested if statements can be used to create complex
decision-making logic. However, it is important to use them carefully, as they can make code
difficult to read and understand.
Error in hypothesis testing is the probability of making a wrong decision about the null
hypothesis. There are two types of error in hypothesis testing:
* Type I error: This is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true.
* Type II error: This is the probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually
false.
The significance level of a hypothesis test is the maximum probability of making a Type I
error that the researcher is willing to tolerate. The power of a hypothesis test is the
probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually false.

while (i < 10) {
print(i)
i <- i + 1
}
4. Date and time: In R, date and time objects are represented using the Date and POSIXct
classes, respectively. Date objects represent calendar dates, while POSIXct objects
