[R] apply

[Jeff Newmiller]

Even if this is not a homework question, it smells like one. If you read the Posting Guide it warns you that homework is off-topic, so when you impose an arbitrary constraint like "must use specific unrelated function" we feel like you are either cheating or wasting our time, and it is up to you to explain why we should follow you down this rabbit hole, keeping in mind that statistics theory per-se is also off-topic here. You have yet to explain why you want to do this the hard way.
