2.
a) > seq(1,10,2)
[1] 1 3 5 7 9
Make a vector of sequential values from 1 to 10 in steps of 2.
b) > seq(1,5)-0.5
[1] 0.5 1.5 2.5 3.5 4.5
Make a vector of sequential values from 1 to 5 and subtracting 0.5 to each element of the vector.
c) > trials=rbinom(30,10,0.3)
> trials
[1] 3 4 2 4 3 1 1 5 1 2 4 2 3 4 3 5 2 2 3 3 6 3 5 1 6 2 0 1 3 3
> hist(trials)

d) > my.breaks=seq(0,11)-0.5
> hist(trials,breaks=my.breaks)

e) Because after the transformation it looks more normally distributed.
