Question 1152360: 1) I have two apples, one banana, one cherry. Does it make sense to calculate the "average" of these things? Would you code that as a factor or a numeric value in R?
2) I have four quiz scores: 94, 93, 85, and 0. What is the mean (average) of my quiz scores? Would you code this as a factor or a numeric value in R?
3) In another class, I received these grades on my quizzes: two As, one B, and one F. What is the mean (average) of my grades? Would you code that as a factor or a numeric value in R?
4) How would you explain the difference in mean values obtained in #2 and #3 above?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are only supposed to put in 1 question, not 4. Anyway, for 1), it doesn’t make sense to find the average of 2 apples,1 banana, and 1 cherry because they are different items.
