Question 1

Given the following vector:

• sex_vector <- c(“Male”, “Female”, “Female”, “Male”, “Male”)

Convert “sex_vector” to a factor named “factor_sex_vector”

Answer 1

factor_sex_vector <- factor(sex_vector)

Question 2

Given the following vector:

• temperature_vector <- c(“High”, “Low”, “High”,”Low”, “Medium”)

Convert to a factor“factor_temperature_vector” with the following characteristics:

• Levels in order of “Low”, “Medium”, “High”

Answer 2

factor_temperature_vector <- factor(temperature_vector, order=TRUE, levels = c(“Low”, “Medium”, “High”) )
