BAC: Blood Alcohol Content

Description

Two volunteers weighing 180 pounds each consumed a twelve ounce beer every fifteen minutes for one hour. One hour after the fourth beer was consumed, each volunteer's blood alcohol was measured with ten different breathalyzers from the same company. The numbers recorded in data frame BAC are the sorted blood alcohol content values reported with breathalyzers from company X and company Y.

Usage

BAC

Format

A data frame with 10 observations of the following 2 variables:

• X (blood alcohol content measured in g/L)

• Y (blood alcohol content measured in g/L)

# geom_boxplot() + guides(fill = "none") + scale_fill_brewer() + 
# labs(y = "blood alcohol content measured in g/L")
# Convert with reshape()
