beetles: Mortality of confused flour beetles
Description
Data from a study examining the response of confused flour beetles
to increasing concentrations of gaseous carbon disulphide. After
exposure for five hours the exact concentration of carbon disulphide
was determined and the number of dead flour beetles were recorded. For
each concentration of carbon disulphide duplicate batches of beetles
were used.
Format
A data frame with 16 observations on the following 4 variables.
conc
- Concentration of carbon disulphide (mg/l)
rep
- Replicate number
y
- Number of deaths in each dose gruop
n
- Total number of beetles in each dose group
