Data on postmortem intervals. In given Exercise you learned that postmortem interval (PMI) is the elapsed time between death and the performance of an autopsy on the cadaver. Brain and Language (June 1995) reported on the PMIs of 22 randomly selected human brain specimens obtained at autopsy. The data are reproduced in the table below.
