PRDV420: Practice: Built-in Datasets

In this short practice exercise, you will try using a dataset already loaded in R. It is convenient when you want to try things out on some data (of a certain structure) but do not have your data ready yet.

Exercise:

Use the function data() to show the available datasets.
Open the help file for the dataset PlantGrowth and read the description.
Create a new object called pg10 containing just the first 10 rows of the dataset PlantGrowth.
