Description

Chambers, et al. (1983), page 381, contains the cloud seeding data set. Rainfall in acre-feet for 52 clouds are measured, 50% of which have natural rain (control group) whereas the others are seeded. We need to visually compare whether seeding the clouds lead to increase in rainfall in acre-feet.
