Paper Towel Data

Description

These are simulated data to illustrate what could have happened in an experiment comparing the strength of different types of paper towels when they are wet. Two different brands were compared at three different levels of wetness. Strength was interpreted as how long the damp paper towel could support a weight. The paper towel was held at four corners and the weight was placed in the center. These data are used in Intermediate Statistics with R's Chapter 4: Two-Way ANOVA
