TIRE: Stopping Distance

In PASWR2: Probability and Statistics with R, Second Edition

Description

The data frame TIRE has the stopping distances measured to the nearest foot for a standard sized car to come to a complete stop from a speed of sixty miles per hour. There are six measurements of the stopping distance for four different tread patterns labeled A, B, C, and D. The same driver and car were used for all twenty-four measurements.

Usage

TIRE

Format

A data frame with 24 observations on the following 3 variables:

• stopdist (stopping distance measured to the nearest foot)

• tire (a factor with levels A, B, C, and D)

• order (order the experiment was conducted)

Examples

ggplot(data = TIRE, aes(x = reorder(tire, stopdist, FUN = median), y = stopdist, 
fill = tire)) + geom_boxplot() + guides(fill = "none") + 
labs(y = "Stopping distance in feet", x = "Tire Brand") + scale_fill_brewer()
summary(aov(stopdist ~ tire, data = TIRE))
p <- ggplot(data = TIRE, aes(x = reorder(tire, stopdist, FUN = mean), 
y = stopdist, fill = tire))
p + geom_boxplot(width = 0.6) + geom_dotplot(binaxis = "y", stackdir = "center",
binwidth = 2) + guides(fill = "none") + scale_fill_brewer() + 
stat_summary(fun = mean, geom = "point", fill = "black", shape = 23, size = 3) +
labs(x = "Tire Brand", y = "Stopping distance in feet")
