An illustrative exercise in never trusting the summary statistics without also visualizing them.
Format
A data frame with 1,846 observations on the following 3 variables.
datasetthe particular data set, one of 12
xa random variable
yanother random variable
Details
Data were created by Alberto Cairo to illustrate you should always
visualize your data beyond the summary statistics. These are 12 data sets,
in long form, each with a mean of x about 54.26, a mean of y
about 47.83. The standard deviation for x is about 16.76 and the
standard deviation of y is about 26.93. x and y will
correlate weakly, about -.06.
