Dear Colleagues,
This is purely for personal interest.
I have just received a copy of 'The Lady Tasting Tea - How Statistics
Revolutionized Science in the Twentieth Century' by David Salsburg.
I noticed on page 1 that he suggests that the famous tea tasting
experiment associated with Ronald Fisher took place in Cambridge.
However, in 'Intro to Categorical Data Analysis' (1996) Alan Agresti
reports that it was at Rothampsted.
If someone has a copy of 1935 edition of Fishers 'The Design of
Experiments' please could they have a look for me - Salsburg suggests
that the story is in chapter 2.
Many thanks
Vernon
