The "Unusual Episode" Data Revisited

The "Unusual Episode" Data Revisited

This article, created by Robert Dawn of Saint Mary's University, describes a dataset containing information on economic class of passengers and mortality rates from the sinking of the Titanic. The dataset can be used to foster statistical thinking by giving students the data and asking them to determine the source. Discrepancies have been found in this dataset and the "solution," the paper examines these inaccuracies and contains a "fully-explained" version for classroom use.
