Format
A matrix with 5 rows and 5 columns.Description
Death rates per 100 in Virginia in 1940. The death rates are
cross-classified by age group (rows) and population group (columns).
The age groups are: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74 and the
population groups are Rural/Male, Rural/Female, Urban/Male and
Urban/Female.
This provides a rather nice 3-way analysis of variance example.
