The variables and their levels are as follows: No Name Levels 1 Class 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Crew 2 Sex Male, Female 3 Age Child, Adult 4 Survived No, Yes _D_e_t_a_i_l_s: The sinking of the Titanic is a famous event, and new books are still being published about it. Many well-known facts-from the proportions of first-class passengers to the 'women and children first' policy, and the fact that that policy was not entirely successful in saving the women and children in the third class-are reflected in the survival rates for various classes of passenger. These data were originally collected by the British Board of Trade in their investigation of the sinking. Note that there is not complete agreement among primary sources as to the exact numbers on board, rescued, or lost. Due in particular to the very successful film 'Titanic', the last years saw a rise in public interest in the Titanic. Very detailed data about the passengers is now available on the Internet, at sites such as _Encyclopedia Titanica_ (). _S_o_u_r_c_e: Dawson, Robert J. MacG.
