Description

The allbacks data frame gives measurements on the volume and weight of 15 books, some of which are softback (pb) and some of which are hardback (hb). Area of the hardback covers is also included.

Usage

allbacks

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

volume

book volumes in cubic centimeters

area

hard board cover areas in square centimeters

weight

book weights in grams

cover

a factor with levels hb hardback, pb paperback
