an important statiscal concept. Their data, taken from the family Expenditure Survey of British Department of Employment, follow. The dependence variables are the average weekly household expenditure for alcohol and tobacco in 11 regions of Great Britanian.

region North Yorkshire northeast East Midlands West Midlands East anglia southeast southwest
