Exercises

1. Rmarkdown intro. Many exercises in this course (including exam questions) will be completed using Rmarkdown which is a format to mix text and R code. Open the file rmarkdown-intro.Rmd in RStudio. Start reading the document from within Rstudio and follow the guide and answer the questions by modifying the Rmd file and regenerating the document (we suggest that you do not use more than 30-45 minutes on this exercise).

2. Run the file rock-fries-your-brains.Rmd and edit the file to answer the questions.
