THEORY OF STATISTICS. TABLE VI.—Showing the Frequency-distributions of Statures Jor Adult Males born in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Final Report of the Anthropometric Committee to the British Association, (Report, 1883, PD. 256.) As Measurements are stated to have been taken to the neares) ith of an Inch, the Class-Intervals are here presumably 56313-573%, 6715-5818, and so on (¢f. § 9). See Fig. 6.

These frequency-distributions are approximately of the symmetrical type. The frequency-polygon for the totals given by the last column of the table is shown in fig. 6. The student will notice that an error of 1% inch, scarcely appreciable in the diagram on its reduced scale, is neglected in the scale shown on the base-line, the intervals being treated as if they were 57-58, 58-59, etc. Diagrams should be drawn for comparison showing, to a good open scale, the separate distributions for England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. 88 5194 13u : 346 »
