1) zipIncomeAssignment.csv is the dataset file you will use for the asignment.

2) Assignment 1.docx is the actual assignment instructions.

Note: When you read through the docx file, you’ll notice that some words are in bold. That was intentional. Consider those words very strong hints to the solution.

This assignment is worth 20 points (20% of your final grade.) You  will use R to perform basic data analysis on the supplied dataset.  Please refer to the discussion forum for additional information.

Please note that questions #8 and #9 will likely be quite  challenging. I want you to discuss challenges and strategies in the  discussion forum. Don’t just give up the answers to other students if  you figure out how to solve the problems, but try to offer insights and  answer other students’ questions when you can. I’ll be in on the  discussion as well. The point is for each of you to learn about R. The  best way to get there is to encounter some challenges and collaborate to  resolve them. I look at questions #8 and #9 as opportunities to learn  more about R, not ways for me to count off points. I’m interested in the  outcome.

Of course, you will need a functioning R implementation to do this  exercise. See the discussion forum for more details if you need to  acquire R.
