The file gives the number of policyholders of an
insurance company who were ``exposed to risk'', and the number
of car insurance claims made in the third quarter of 1973 by these
policyholders, arranged as a contingency table cross-classified by
three four-level factors: dist, the district in which the
policyholder lived (1: rural, 2: small towns, 3: large towns, 4: major
cities), car, the engine capacity of the car (1: $<$ 1 litre, 2:
1 – 1.5 litres, 3: 1.5 – 2 litres, 4: $>$ 2 litres), and age,
the age of the policyholder (1: $<$ 25, 2: 25 – 29, 3: 30 – 35, 4: $>$
35)
