Goal
We want to flex our programming muscles a little bit and make sure that we can render our
quarto documents.
We are going to randomly generate some observations from a Normal distribution and then
create a histogram.
You will choose the mean and standard deviation for this Normal distribution along with the
sample size; you have an INFINITE number of choices!!
Requirements
Create a new quarto document and fill in the info (like your name and an appropriate
title!)
Make a heading (#) called Simulation
Make a subheading (##) called Simulate from a Normal Distribution
Create a code chunk and give it a label. In this chunk:
use set.seed(1234)(but replace the 1234 with any number you like)
choose the number of observations you want to generate and assign this value to
the variable n (choose n at least 50 or larger)
create a variable mu and assign your chosen mean to this value
create a variable sigma and assign your chosen standard deviation to this value
using the rnorm function and your values of n, mu, and sigma, assign your randomly
generate observations to a variable called obs
Make a subheading (##) and called Histogram of Simulated Values
1
Create a new code chunk and give it a label. In this chunk:
create a histogram of obs
make sure to give your histogram a title and ensure that the axis labels are appropriate (capital letters, actually describe what the axis is, etc.. )
Make a heading (#) called Discussion
Write a sentence or two about what you expected the histogram to look like and whether
this histogram meets those expectations or not.
