You are given part of the data from Qin & Lu, 2006, Experimental Genrotology:
This file contains the following columns:
'strain': names of yeast strains
'n': the number of cells assayed for each strain
'rls': Replicative Life Span
'rls.sd': standard deviation of RLS
'a': The initial mortality rates
'a.sd': standard deviation of 'a'
'b': The Gompertz coefficient of survival curves
'b.sd': standard deviation of b.
You are asked to (1) find out the distribution of 'rls', 'a', and 'b', (2) find out the associations among 'rls', 'a', and 'b'.
