bacteria: Bacteria count in water samples

In EngrExpt: Data sets from "Introductory Statistics for Engineering Experimentation"

Description

As described in Nelson, Coffin and Copeland (2003), “Purified water is used in one step in the production of a medical device. The water is tested daily for bacteria. These data are the results from 50 days of testing. They are the counts of a particular strain of bacteria in a 100 ml. sample of water.”

Format

A data frame with 50 observations on the following variable.
