In order to answer the questions below, you will need to do a little online research.

1. Make three new vectors that show the name, height in feet, and height in meters of the five tallest mountains in the world.

2. Combine these vectors into a data frame called mountains.

3. What is the mean height of the mountains in feet?

4. When were each of these mountains first climbed (i.e. in what year)? Make a new vector first_climbed and add it to the mountains data frame.

5. How many times have each of these mountains been climbed? Make a new vector summits and add it to the mountains data frame.

6. Which mountain has the highest number of fatalities? Make a new vector fatalities and add it to the mountains data frame.

7. What is the fatality rate (i.e., fatalities divided by summits) for each mountain? Create a new vector fatality_rate and add it to the mountains data frame.

8. Write your data frame to a .csv file called mountains_data.

9. Clear your environment panel by clicking on the broom icon. Then read in your mountains_data.csv file to a new object called mountains.

10. Use a summary function of your choice to show the structure of your mountains data frame.
