Apple: Apple Hardness

In alanarnholt/PASWR: Probability and Statistics with R

Apple Hardness

Description

An experiment was undertaken where seventeen recently picked (Fresh) apples were randomly selected and measured for hardness. Seventeen apples were also randomly selected from a warehouse (Warehouse) where the apples had been stored for one week. Data are used in Example 8.10.

Format

A data frame with 17 observations on the following 2 variables: #'

• Fresh (hardness rating measured in \texttt{kg}/\texttt{meter}^2)

• Warehouse (hardness rating measured in \texttt{kg}/\texttt{meter}^2)
