Thanks !

Just try evaluating the right hand side so that the R interpreter
prints the result. This is just calling sample once, and therefore
you only get one number, 85 in your case.

Look at ?replicate or just use ?rbinom directly
d <-data.frame(exp_num = 1:3)
d$head_ct <- rbinom(nrow(d), 200, prob = 0.5)
