R help - Jan 2014 - Ass. 3 part 8 - output is correct but submission fails

I verify my output with the csv file but I get an error in my submission. I
am not sure I have the requirements understood.


ex: rankall("Heart attack",4) gives me the following for AZ (this is a
section of my output)



FLAGSTAFF MEDICAL CENTER    AZ

SUMMIT HEALTHCARE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER    AZ




The data from the csv for the first best rates for the state of AZ are as
follows.




Hospital NameStateLower Mortality Estimate - Hospital 30-Day Death
(Mortality) Rates from Heart AttackMAYO CLINIC HOSPITALAZ9.4CARONDELET
HEART AND VASCULAR INSTITUTEAZ9.5LA PAZ REGIONAL HOSPITALAZ10.4BANNER HEART
HOSPITALAZ10.4FLAGSTAFF MEDICAL CENTERAZ10.5SUMMIT HEALTHCARE REGIONAL
MEDICAL CENTERAZ10.5



My understanding is that the rate 10.4 is counted once as the third lowest
rate although we have two records; therefore the 4th lowest rate will be
10.5 for the FLAGSTAFF MEDICAL CENTER and SUMMIT HEALTHCARE REGIONAL
MEDICAL CENTER.

Is my understanding correct?

This is not the correct list for your questions on your homework.

You need the list for your class, NOT the worldwide R-help list.
