Installing Rcmdr in R and boxplots

After last night's class, it seemed to me that I was being a bit too ambitious. We were trying to learn coding as well as statistics  in a completely new software environment. The key thing is to be able to use statistics to solve business problems. That is the goal. So I want us to use the  Rcmdr graphical user interface. Then you can just point and click and we can get the work done more quickly. The Rcmdr will produce code which you can as you wish. For sure, being able to write code yourself is much more flexible and more efficient. But it takes some time. So we can start with Rcmdr and then you can start writing code as you wish.

I'd like you to either work in the library, using the R software installed there, or install R on your computer at home. The instructions for doing this are in the chapter 1 notes which I passed around last night, and which are also on the course Moodle site.

I have just prepared a YouTube on installing Rcmdr and doing the car mileage box plot we did last night. I will prepare more YouTubes in the next few days.

The link to the YouTube is here.

I am going to send you some homework in the next few days. You email it to me and I will send it back to you with comments and also a solutions file.

You can contact me by email at any time and I will do my best to help you.

Best wishes
Stephen
