Information
The data set "cars.csv" was introduced in Chapter 9 of the book. This data
set contains information on various models of cars. Download this le to
your computer and store it in the working directory of R. The le can be
downloaded from MATH 1281 Data Files in the course page for MATH

The variable "width" in the data set contains the width of the body of the
eH w
car in inches. The variable "length" contains the length of the body of the
o.
car in inches. Produce a new variable by the name "area" that contains the
rs e
area of the body of the car. This variable should be produced by
ou urc
multiplying the the width of the body by the length of the body. Answer the
