Introduction
1.1 Generate a random sample x1 , . . . , x100 of data from the t4 (df=4) distri-
bution using the rt function. Use the MASS::truehist function to display a
probability histogram of the sample.

x <- rt(100, df = 4)

1.2 Add the t4 density curve (dt) to your histogram in Exercise 1.1 using the
curve function with add=TRUE.

To avoid cutting off the top, we can set the y axis range to match the mode
of the density at 0 using ylim in truehist.
# using x from Exercise 1.1
y0 <- dt(0, df = 4)
truehist(x, ylim = c(0, y0))
curve(dt(x, df = 4), add = TRUE)

1.3 Add an estimated density curve to your histogram in Exercise 1.1 using
density. Notice that the density estimate (density) is an approximation to
the density of the sampled distribution (in this case the t4 density). (Density
estimation and the density function are covered in detail in Chapter 12.)
# using x from Exercise 1.1
truehist(x, ylim = c(0, .5))
