This is Dataplot data file LEVENSO5.DAT Simulated 2-Lab Data for BOB paper Note--these simulated values are such that Lab 1 has 4 observations, with a sample mean of 0.368, and with a sample standard deviation of 0.011; Lab 2 has 20 observations, with a sample mean of 0.310, and with a sample standard deviation of 0.0086. Response variable = Mass fraction of Hg (simulated) Number of observations = 24 Order of variables on a line image-- 1. Response variable = mass fraction of Hg (simulated) 2. Factor 1 = laboratory (2 levels) Statistical Category: Multi-lab (2 lab) Project Question: What is a consensus value for the Hg mass fraction? Reference: Levenson, Mark, et al. (2000).
