Very basic statistics in R
I recommend you read the Introduction to R document that comes with R. Look for making vectors with the c() function, and using the mean() and sd() functions. Note that this is not a homework help forum (read the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of every message). If this is not homework, you are going to need to do quite a bit of self study before you can ask questions clearly enough to get useful responses on this list.

Dear all, Very simple question, but apparently uneasy to solve in R: I have a sampling of a variable x: (3, 4. 5, 2, ...) I want to know: - the mean <x> -> mean(x) - the uncertainty on <x> -> std.error(x) ? Or sd(x)? - the standard deviation of x -> ? - the uncertainty on the standard deviation -> ? Anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance, regards, Xavier
