Karl Pearson organized the collection of data on over 1100 families in
England in the period 1893 to 1898. This particular data set gives the
heights in inches of mothers and their daughters, with up to two daughters
per mother. All daughters are at least age 18, and all mothers are younger
than 65. Data were given in the source as a frequency table to the nearest
