(b) Is Tempo numeric or factor? Try str(mydataframename) to find out
the classes of each variable in your data frame. If they seem
equidistant, it's a plausible null hypothesis that Tempo is a factor.
If so, change it to numeric; one way to do this is

mydataframe$tempo <- as.numeric(as.character(mydataframe$Tempo))

I used a different variable name so that you can double check whether
the conversion is correct. Also run str() on the modified data to make
sure that the new variable is numeric.
