As the posting guide (http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html) says "Basic statistics and classroom homework: R-help is not intended for these. " Also, I find it a little bit cheeky that you''ve asked for help on 3 parts of your homework, and haven't provided any evidence that you've even attempted the problem yourself. (If you've been staring at the problem for hours, you must have written something.) Read the help pages ?matrix and ?"for" and take a look in the Intro to R manual. Regards, Richie.
