Clearly, this is not right. My Instructor and I have no idea why the program
does that.
If you have no idea why R does something you could try reading the
documentation which tells you in some detail (in this case) what R is doing.
?quantile
I removed the program from the computer , installed it again and
it still shows the mistake. It is also strange, that I chose "english" as
installlanguage, but the program is in german (my OS is in german).
It used English during installation though, right? So it did what you asked.
Pls help, because otherwise i cannot solve any problems with R.
Using Win7 and R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30).
