rows of a modified version of that dataset containing information from a study examining the effect of reducing class
size on student performance in primary school.

Besides the Student ID, we will focus on four other measures from the data: stark and star1, which indicate the
type of class in kindergarten and grade 1, respectively (regular, small, or regular+aide); and readk, read1,
and read2 which are reading scores from kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2 respectively.

(a) [5 pts] Write a line of code that will generate the following tibble (or data.frame) with the total number of
students who were in each type of class in kindergarten:

# A tibble: 3 x 2
# Groups: stark [3]

1 regular 1067
2 small 987
3 regular+aide 1060

(b) [5 pts] Write a line of code that will generate the following tibble (or data.frame) with the total number of
students who were in each combination of type of class in kindergarten and grade 1, as below:

count_table

8 regular+aide small 85
9 regular+aide regular+aide 484

(c) [5 pts] Assume the tibble from part (b) is called count_table as above. Now write a line of code that
produces a tibble which gives, for each class type in kindergarten, the proportion of students in each class type
in grade 1:

Here is some code which creates an object STAR_what.
STAR_what <- STAR_data %>%

pivot_longer(cols=readk:read2,names_to=Test,values_to=Score) %>%
select(-student_ID)

(d) [5 pts] What class of object is STAR_what?

We will re-use the same data that was used in Question 1. The description is repeated below for your convenience.

type of class in kindergarten and grade 1, respectively (regular, small, or regular+aide); and readk,read1,

Treemap D. 2-d histogramEND OF QUESTIONMATH 208 Final Exam December 8th-11th, 2020Question 3 [50 points]The goal of this task is to write functions to identify certain repeated patterns of characters in long character vectors,a basic form of a more complicated task that is often used in gene sequencing.For every part of this question, you will assume that the user gives you a vector where each element of the vectorcontains a single character,lower-case letter. For example, the user may specify:c(“b”, “c”, “b”, “d”, “c”, “a”, “b”, “b”, “d”, “c”)(a) [15 pts] Write a function below using a for loop (and possibly other control statements) which takes acharacter vector as an argument and returns the length of the longest sequence of repeated letter b for anarbitrary vector. For the example vector above, for example, the length of the longest sequence of repeatedb values is 2. It does not matter if the longest sequence length occurs multiple times, you only need toreport it once.CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGEMATH 208 Final Exam December 8th-11th, 2020(b) [15 pts] Now assume that if the user inputs a vector that includes a certain stopping character, then youshould immediately stop analyzing the sequence and return a value of NA. If the input vector does not includethe stopping character, then it proceeds as in part (a) to return the length of the longest sequence of repeatedletter b values. For example, if the stopping character is a, then in the example above, your functionshould return NA. But if the stopping character is f, then in the example above should return 2 as before.Modify your function from part (a) to complete this task. Your function should take two arguments: the inputcharacter vector and a stopping character whose default value is f.CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGEMATH 208 Final Exam December 8th-11th, 2020(c) [10 pts] Now assume that you want write code to create a data frame or tibble that contains the longest runin the vector for each letter of the alphabet, except for the single special stopping character specified by theuser. If a non-stopping letter does NOT appear in the vector, it should not appear in the table. In otherwords, if the stopping character is f, then applying your code to the example vector above would return.# A tibble: 4 x 2letter longest

But if the stopping character is a, then your function should return NA for all letters, i.e.

# A tibble: 4 x 2
letter longest

Write code below that uses your function from part (b) to produce the desired result. You do not need to write a
separate function for this part, but you can if you think it is helpful.

(d) [10 pts] Finally, using your code from part (c) so that you can obtain a list with 26 elements, where you
obtain the tibble in part (c) for a each of the 26 possible stopping characters. You do not need to write a
separate function for this part, but you can if you think it is helpful.

MATH 208 Final Exam December 8th-11th, 2020

Question 4 [30 points]
In this question, you will write code to simulate a board game based on the fable, The Tortoise and the Hare.

The idea of the game is as follows:

(a) There are 100 spaces on the board and each piece must travel in order through the board.

(b) Both characters start on space 0.

(c) The Hare always gets to move first. The Hare randomly moves forward 5 spaces (when running) or moves
forward 0 spaces (when sleeping), with equal probability.

(d) Then the Tortoise moves forward either 2 spaces or 4 spaces, with equal probability.

(e) The game ends when one of the characters reaches a total of 100 spaces or greater.

[10 points] Write a function below, one_turn, which simulates a single turn in the game, i.e. steps (c) and (d)
above. The function should take two arguments, the current space of the Hare and the updated space of the tortoise.
The function should return the updated space of the the Hare and the upated space of the Tortoise after one turn.
Hint: You can use the sample function in R to choose the number of spaces each player moves forward.

[20 points] Write a new function which uses your function in part (a) to simulate one entire game, from steps a)
to e) above. Your function should take in one argument: a random seed so that you can replicate the results of the
game. Your function should return a list containing two elements: the name of the winner of the game (i.e. Hare
or Tortoise) and a tibble containing the history of all spaces travelled by both players .
