Heming Lake Pike Data
Description
The raw data pikeraw give the lengths of 523 pike (Esox lucius), and there are known to
be five age-groups in the sample. We grouped the lengths over 25 intervals to obtain the grouped
data given as separate samples for each age group determined by scale reading.
The pikdat5 data frame has 25 rows and 6 columns.
Usage
