Columns p1
, p2
, p3
stand for pre-albumin, albumin, globulins respectively.
These were collected from 3-week old white Pekin ducklings.
Let \(Y_1\) be proportional to the total milligrams of
pre-albumin in the blood serum of a duckling.
Similarly,
let \(Y_2\) and \(Y_3\) be directly proportional
to the same factor as \(Y_1\) to the total milligrams
respectively of albumin and globulins in its blood serum.
The proportion of pre-albumin is given by
\(Y_1/(Y_1 + Y_2 + Y_3)\),
and similarly for the others.
