SUPPLEMENTS—GOODNESS OF FIT. 
TABLE A. — Theoretical Distribution of x2, calculated from Independence-values, 
in Tables with 16 Compartments, compared with the Actual Distributions 
given by 100 Experimental Tables. In the first case n’ must be taken as 
10, 2n the second as 8. (Ref. 77.)

For tables with 2 rows and 2 columns 350 experimental tables of 
100 observations each were available. The observed distribution of 
values of x2, calculated from the independence-frequencies, is shown 
in Table B, together with the theoretical distribution obtained by 
differencing the table on pp. 385-386. Testing goodness of fit on 
Table B as it stands, »” is 10, x* works out at 7-53, and P is 0583.
