Calculate the latest month value of Date1, Date2 and Date3 (e.g. December is
later than July.) for each observation.
3. Use the raw data from the file CARS.csv
The names of variables are here:
Make
Model
Type
Origin
DriveTrain
MSRP
Invoice
EngineSize
Cylinders
Horsepower
MPG_City
MPG_Highway
Weight
Wheelbase
Length

Calculate these values, create new variables if necessary:

If MSRP is greater than $50,000; then, the car is too expensive and you
are not interested. Delete all the not-interested cars from the data set.
If Make is BMW or Audi or Acura, you write Yes to Favorite column.
If car is convertible, then change to Convertible in Type column.
If MPGCity > 20 and MPGHighway > 30 then write Economy, otherwise
write Monster to Consumption column.
Create your own criteria for Size in terms of Weight and Length
and categorize the cars into 3 size classes (small, medium, large).
Example: If the weight is less than 2500 and size is less than
180 then small.
Write the maximum horsepowered car upto that car. To be more clear, if
the data set is like:
o Car Horsepower
A
180
B
200
C
150
D
210
Then the answer is:
Car Horsepower MaxHorsepower
A

B

D

Create an array named Mileage of length 2, define MPGCity and
MPGHighway as the values of it. Calculate MixedMileage as
0.4*MPGCity + 0.6*MPGHighway by using the Mileage array.
