[R] 'mean' function

[Martin Lam]

Type "?mean" and hit "enter" in the console to see the
description of the function.

# randomly draw 5 numbers between 1 and 10 without
replacement
randomlist = sample(1:10, 5)
# calculate the mean of the list
meanoflist = mean(randomlist)
# show the result
meanoflist
