Q61. In this image below, the data frame on lines 1 through 4 is named StDf. StDf contains no factors. Why does statement on line 6 return “character” while the statement on line 7 returns “data.frame”?

Each value in the first row is a character value, but the values in the third column include both character and numeric values.
By specifying the final row, 3, and no column specified, StDf[3, ] calls for the complete structure.
Columns in a data frame are vectors generally containing a single type of data. Rows in a data frame are lists, but they belong to a structure that has multiple rows: the data frame.
Each value in the first column is a character value, but the values in the third row include both character and numeric values.

Q63. Why does sum(!is.na(pizza$week)) return the number of rows with valid, non-NA values in the column named week?

The exclamation point in !is.na(pizza$week) reverses the meaning of the test it precedes.
!is.na(pizza$week) counts the number of NA values in the column.
!is.na(pizza$week) returns a vector of TRUE/FALSE values, in which TRUE is treated as a 0 and FALSE as a 1.
!is.na(pizza$week) counts the number of non-missing values in the column.

Q64. How do you get documentation of an installed and loaded R package named dplyr and packages with dplyr as an alias?

Yes, both pairs of statements return an object with the same length and class.
No, the length is the same but the class is different.
No, the class is the same but the length is different.
