Within R, call data(mtcars), a dataset containing information on 11 variables for 32 1973-74 automobile models.

Pick four or five of the variables, including mpg. Examine the effects of the other variables on mpg, singly or in combination, using bi-, tri-, and hypervariate methods.

Turn in a brief writeup discussing your findings, including appropriate graphics from R which support your ideas. Feel free to use methods such as brushing or spinning which are difficult or impossible to reduce to the printed page. In these cases, produce the nearest printable approximation you can, and carefully describe any additional features which do not appear on your figures.
