SD FOR MEAN !!!

help how can I solve this ? We are working with the mtcars dataset and need to find the number of cars that fall into 1 standard deviation from the mean of the mpg column. This means that we need to find the cars that have the mpg value in the range of mean(mpg)-sd(mpg) and mean(mpg)+sd(mpg).

# note the , ! x is a dataframe, not a vector! x<- mtcars[mtcars$mpg<a &mtcars$mpg>b,] # a x is a dataframe, you need to determine the number of rows, not the length nrow(x)

You calculate the values and then filter the mpg column by them

a<-mean(mtcars$mpg)+sd(mtcars$mpg) b<-mean(mtcars$mpg)-sd(mtcars$mpg) x<- mtcars[mtcars$mpg<a &mtcars$mpg>b] length(x) why is this wrong please ?

x <- (mtcars$mpg) a<-mean(mtcars$mpg)-sd(mtcars$mpg) b<-mean(mtcars$mpg)+sd(mtcars$mpg) tar <- mtcars[mtcars$mpg>a & mtcars$mpg<b,] print(nrow(tar))
