MACHINE PROBLEM NO. 1: DATA STRUCTURES

A. The following scores were obtained by a chemical engineering graduate during the recently held licensure
exams:
Day 1: Physical and Chemical Principles 62%
Day 2: Chemical Engineering Principles 81%
Day 3: General Engineering Principles 95%

The examinee’s final rating is determined as follows: Day 1: 30%, Day 2: 40%, Day 3: 30%. Using the variables
day1, day2 and day3 for the scores, create an R code to determine the examinee’s final rating (use the
variable rating). Use the paste() function to obtain an output of the following form:

The examinee’s final rating is <final rating>.

Determine the data type of the variable rating.

B. The following profits/losses were recorded by your café for the past week:

Coffee Profits/Losses
Monday Profit 14,000

Tea Profits/Losses
Monday Loss 8,000
Tuesday Loss 3,000
Wednesday Profit 10,000
Thursday Loss 6,000
Friday Profit 11,000
Saturday Profit 5,000

Create separate vectors for coffee and tea. Be sure to label the columns with the names of the days. Create a
code to determine and display: (a) the total daily profits/losses; (b) the total profits/losses for the week; (c)
the total profits/losses for both coffee and tea; (d) the profits/losses for coffee on Friday; (e) the average
