Whickham

Data on age, smoking, and mortality
from a one-in-six survey of the electoral roll
in Whickham, a mixed urban and rural district near Newcastle upon
Tyne, in the UK. The survey was conducted in 1972-1974 to study
heart disease and thyroid disease. A follow-up on those in the
survey was conducted twenty years later.

Data sets from Project MOSAIC (<http://www.mosaic-web.org>) used
to teach mathematics, statistics, computation and modeling. Funded by the
NSF, Project MOSAIC is a community of educators working to tie together
aspects of quantitative work that students in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics will need in their professional lives, but
which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
