Hello,
I have a problem that I am trying to solve and I am not sure how to
do it in R.
Suppose, that 16 numbers are choosen at random from 0 to 9, what's
the probability that their average will be between 4 and 6. I typed
the following code:
set.seed(100)
sample(0:9, 16, replace =TRUE)
[1] 3 2 5 0 4 4 8 3 5 1 6 8 2 3 7 6
Is what I got, however I realize the set.seed function locks in the
number I get every time.
Just don't use set.seed() before every run (unless you want to always get the same answers). Set.seed() is available to allow you to generate reproducible results, so not using it means that you will get a different set of random numbers every time you run your "sample" from above. Sean
