Hi, get any of the manuals that are an introduction to R, e.g. from CRAN, which describe the steps of how to start in R. You can google-search them too. You will find what it takes to do that in there.
Hints: 1. R is object oriented. That is, your read.table command creates an object Wdbc. It does not show you the content of this object unless you call the object. 2. You have to tell hist() where it has to look for "area". In other words, hist() does not know that "area" is to be found in "Wdbc". There are multiple ways to do this. Again, consult an introductory manual. Other than that I agree with Duncan, your teacher is being paid for helping you with these very basic problems.

I am using R for doing the homework. I am having the following specific problem: a) when I input the data using the command > Wbdc <-read.table("wdbc.txt") I do not see the data. b) When I want to run histogram using command > hist(area) I get an error message, Error in hist(area) : object "area" not found. I am attaching the data file I imported to R and a screenshot of the workspace. Please help.
