[R] Fw: How I can calculate the value of response variable

[Bert Gunter]

Is this homework? This list tries to enforce  a no homework policy...

If not, it looks to me as if you have made no effort to learn R nor
have you read and followed the posting guide. We generally expect
posters to have made reasonable efforts to do both and demonstrate
what they have tried and how it has failed.

Cheers,
Bert Gunter
