NAME: Margarine experiment TYPE: Experiment SIZE: 40 observations, 2 variables DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT: This data set is from an experiment which examined whether there are differences in melting times for margarine. Three different margarines (brands 1 - 3) were studied and butter was used as a control group (brand 4). The sizes and shapes of the initial margarine/butter pats were as similar as possible, and there were melted one by one in a clean frying pan over a constant heat SOURCES: Dean A and Vos D (1999).
