Your first for loop

To make sure you fully understand what you've just done, let's try running a smaller version.

To help you remember the syntax, initialization was done with the rep() function: rep(NA, n).

And this is how you do a for loop: for (i in 1:n) { ... }

Exercise instructions

  • Initialize a vector of 100 NAs called sample_means_small.
  • Run a loop for 100 times that takes a sample of size 50 from area and stores the sample mean in sample_means_small.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# The ames data frame and area and price objects are already loaded into the workspace

# Initialize the vector to store the means in:
sample_means_small <-

# Run your for loop:
for (___) {

}

# Print the result:
sample_means_small
