2. Change the author of the report to your name
3. Add an additional sentence or two in the "Specific statistics within text" section that embeds the numeric result for the median height, standard deviation of the heights plus the minimum and maximum heights.
   • HINT: the functions you will need are median(), sd(), min() and max().
4. Add a section that also displays a histogram of the number of rings for the abalones. Add a few sentences about this distribution - what do you observe?
5. Add a section with another scatterplot of the wholeWeight (plotted on the y-axis) against the shuckedWeight (plotted on the x-axis). Color the points by sex. Add a sentence or two on what you see? Does anything seem off or unusual?
6. knit your report to HTML or DOC format and then save as a PDF to turn in on Canvas.
   • Optional - you may also knit directly to PDF if you wish to install an optional latex package such as MikTex or MacTex or install the tinytex R package. Learn more at https://yihui.name/tinytex/.
