Your question is a little vague. Do you just want to know how often z falls in one the three classes? If so, you could either code an indicator variable (e.g. z.cat) that expresses the three categories and then do table(z.cat). Alternatively, you could just do
sum(z>0&z<1000) sum(z>10000&z<3000) sum(z>3000) It's unclear to me whether you want to summarize the other variables (x and y) for each of the categories of z. If you want to do that, use tapply (see ?tapply).
