title: List of mean, median and sd for a given variable in R
body: <p>Is it possible to give the argument FUN in apply more than one argument? Im trying to get a list of the mean, median and sd of a given variable in any dataframe.
  Example: <code>apply(X = mtcars, MARGIN = mtcars[i], FUN = c(mean, median, sd) </code>, where <em>i</em> is the variable (or column) of interest. Im not sure if this is the method to use, if not, please guide me to a more suitable method. Thanks!</p>
  <p>I want something like this:</p>
  <pre><code>data(mtcars)
  $mpg 
  mean median st
  20.09 19.2 6.03   
  </code></pre>
