Can confirm I get an error.
Error in mvrnorm(1e+05, mu = mean(ourData), Sigma = cov(ourData)) :
incompatible arguments
In addition: Warning message:
In mean.default(ourData) : argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA

Ok I am not so much experienced. But in "mvrnorm" , mean should be a vector. The syntax "mean" cant find the mean for a data frame like "ourData". So an error should be shown when running this code.
