Format

A data frame with 19 observations on the following 4 variables.

BodyWt

the body weight of each rat in grams; a numeric vector

LiverWt

the weight of each liver in grams; a numeric vector

Dose

the relative dose of the drug given to each rat as a fraction of the largest dose; a numeric vector

DoseInLiver

the proportion of the dose in the liver; a numeric vector

Details

The data describe an experiment conducted to investigate the amount of drug present in the liver of a rat. Nineteen rats were randomly selected, weighed, and placed under a light anesthetic and given an oral dose of the drug. Because it was thought that large livers would absorb more of a given dose than a small liver, the actual dose given was approximately determined as 40mg of the drug per kilogram of body weight. After a fixed length of time, each rat was sacrificed and the liver weighed, and the percent dose in the liver was determined.
