Imaginary Census
This cube visualizes completely random data from an imaginary census of 3,000 people from seven different cities.
The data table from which this cube is created was entirely artificial in that both the dimension values and the measure values were randomly generated. That is, each of the 3,000 records (rows) in the data table were equally likely to have any of the five age groups, either of the two sex values, any of the seven cities, any weight in the range 100 to 250 lbs, any height in the range 60 to 76 inches, any systolic blood pressure in the range 80 to 160 mmHg, and any LDL cholesterol in the range 90 to 185 mg/dL. The weight, height, systolic blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol in any record is entirely independent of the others.
Data such as this almost never occurs in the real world. If you would measure hiss in an electric device, or the Brownian motion of dust particles, you might get such data.
This cube lets you see what such data looks like in a scatter plot. If you compare it with the other cubes, it should be apparent that, in real data, something is always happening.
