## Summarizes data.
## Gives count, mean, standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and confidence interval (default 95%).
## data: a data frame.
## measurevar: the name of a column that contains the variable to be summariezed
## groupvars: a vector containing names of columns that contain grouping variables
## na.rm: a boolean that indicates whether to ignore NA's
## conf.interval: the percent range of the confidence interval (default is 95%)
