HW#1 is now graded and in your folder - a few general comments

Make sure that you answer the questions.
Be creative and thorough with your use of R, especially when you are simulating answers.
Don't be afraid to try new code that we have not discussed in class.
Overall, the class performance was very good. Keep up the great work.

See Stat226-StatisticalComputing-F2020\!ClassNotes\ReadingData.R for some examples
I want to take as much time as we need on this topic now, because there are LOTS of ways to read data into R.

Create an R script or Markdown file that applies at least three probability distributions to pratical problems of interest to you. You may work by yourself or with a partner on this project. Ideally, your solution will have a theoretical and a simulated solution. However, if the theoretical solution is unknown (or unknown to you) then you can stick with simulation. You must include at least one continuous distribution and at least one discrete distribution during your presentation. Presentations to the class should last from 7 to 10 minutes. My hope is that we can begin these presentations next Wednesday. If you prefer to go early or late in the presentation order, please let me know. Otherwise, the order of presentations will be decided randomly.
