Hi,

(Please use ?dput() to share the example dataset. Avoid using images to show dataset. Also, please read the posting guide esp. regarding home work, assignments etc.)

res <- sapply(Gene[,-1],function(x) tapply(x,list(Gene$Genotype),mean))

#or
res2 <-  aggregate(.~Genotype, data=Gene,mean)


#or
library(plyr)
 res3 <- ddply(Gene,.(Genotype),numcolwise(mean))


identical(res2,res3)
#[1] TRUE


resNew <- data.frame(Genotype=rownames(res),res,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
 attr(resNew,"row.names") <- attr(res2,"row.names")
 identical(resNew,res2)
#[1] TRUE


A.K.


So I'm having a problem with the part b of the assignment. 

This is the question 


This is how I solved 
Part A 


now for 
Part B 
Am i supposed to do something along the lines of 

sapply(tapply(Gene[ , ], Gene$Genotype), mean) 

This doesn't work.
