C.1 Question 1

On R start-up, several sample datasets are loaded
Two of them are:
- state.name—Names of US states
- state.area—Corresponding state area size, in \(mi^2\) (square miles)
Create a vector of state area sizes in \(km^2\)
Print a subset of state names for states whose areas are greater than 300,000 \(km^2\) and smaller than 700,000 \(km^2\)
Note: you need to convert from \(mi^2\) to \(km^2\)!

## [1] "California" "Montana"    "New Mexico" "Texas"

(50 points)

Use the state.name and state.area vectors and write an expression that prints the name of the state which has the smallest area in the US
Note: do not use the specific values 39 or "Rhode Island" in your code!

## [1] "Rhode Island"
