Consider the vector x: x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18) Match the following outputs to the function which produces that output. Options include sort(x), order(x), rank(x) and none of these

Completed Question

Outputs to be matched to the functions are:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vector x: x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18)

Sort

In R, the sort(x)  function is used to arrange the entries in ascending or descending order. By default, R will sort the vector in ascending order.

Therefore, the output that matches the sort function is:

sort(x): 2, 18, 27, 43, 96

Rank

The rank function returns a vector with the "rank" of each value.

x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18)

Therefore, the output of rank(x)  is: 1, 4, 3, 5, 2

Order

When the function is sorted, the order function gives the previous location of each of the element of the vector.

Using the sort(x) function, we obtain: 2, 18, 27, 43, 96

In the vector: x <- c(2, 43, 27, 96, 18)

Therefore, the output of order(x) is: 1, 5, 3, 2, 4
