Web Created Real Data Sheets

The Royal Statistical Society (RSS) Centre for Statistical Education runs an on-going international CensusAtSchool project that involves, inter-alia, collecting and analysing school pupils’ responses to about 18 simple questions. These fall into three areas of interest, namely details about (1) the pupils, (2) the pupil’s household and (3) the pupil’s school. The data collected comprise measured, counted and categorical types. See, for example, Connor et al (2000).
