ex1125

The data are the typical dry weight in mg, the typical ingestion rate (weight 
 of food intake per day for one animal) in mg/day, and the percentage of the 
 food that is composed of organic matter for 22 species of deposit feeders. The
 goal is to see whether the distribution of species' ingestion rates depends on 
 the percentage of organic matter in the food, after accounting for the effect 
 of species weight and to describe the association. The last three species 
 happen to be Bivalves, so may behave differently from the others.
