I am a beginner in R, but I am aware I should look for answers before asking a question here. I did, looked into help files, but to no avail. The problem is as follows: when I ask for a summary of subset X, the output of the two columns is as below. I wanted to have only the output for the answer, which I am able to to, but it is presented differently (see the output at the bottom). I want to have the results presented as a table, not as a list.
summary(X, max = 12)
results in:
student answer
Min. : 335 0 - Not at all likely : 35
1st Qu.: 855480 1 : 18
Median :1831962 10 - Extremely likely :9336
Mean :1519041 2 : 23
3rd Qu.:2183663 3 : 19
Max. :2607132 4 : 15
5 - Neutral : 939
6 : 235
7 : 921
8 :1844
9 :1194

Because I am only interested in the summary stats for answer, I used
summary(X$answer, max = 12)
And then I get the list below as answer.
0 - Not at all likely
35
1
18
10 - Extremely likely
9336

23

You should try
summary(X["answer"], max = 12)
since X["answer"] is not a vector like X$answer but a one-column data frame.
