A Simple Dataset for Demonstrating Common Distributions

A Simple Dataset for Demonstrating Common Distributions

This dataset, created by Peter K. Dunn of the University of Southern Queensland, contains the time of birth, sex, and birth weight for 44 babies born in one 24-hour period at a hospital in Brisbane, Australia. The data can be used for studying some common distributions like the normal, binomial, geometric, Poisson, and exponential. In regards to the dataset, the author states: "Because the dataset is small and easily understood, it provides a useful classroom example for discussing these distributions. "
