In your t-test function call, R isn't sure where to find your cre and gender vectors. These are in the Book1 data frame. To access a column in a data.frame in R, use the $ extract operator.

t.test(Book1$cre ~ Book1$gender, var.eq =TRUE)

If your problem is solved, can you please mark this response as a solution? I fyou don't know how, please see here: FAQ: How do I mark a solution?.

An equivalent way of doing this to avoid specifying the data frame name multiple times is the data argument:

t.test(cre ~ gender, Book1, var.eq =TRUE)
