Dear all,
I wanted to create the mean using a algebra matrix.
so I tried this one:

meanAnimals <- new3%*%factorial

(Calculates the matrix multiplication of the new3 * factorial).

But I get the following error message:

Error in new3 %*% factorial : non-conformable arguments

You probably want to transpose `factorial`. I don't understand how the result would be particularly interesting, however.
