<<Doc1.doc>> I was trying to get R to analyse one variable of the file
Chicken Weight. when I ask


hist(data$weight)
R says "x must be numeric"
yet when I check the data using Editor, it says quite clearly that
variable name weight is numeric.

Guess you have a factor rather than numeric. Use R functions to check it, e.g. str().

docs are stripped.
