Hence if » be negative, the correlation of order #—2 cannot be numerically greater than unity and r cannot exceed (numerically) 1/(n — 1). 4, TE 719 5. Ti9.3= — 1; Ti3.9=7T931= +1. 6.

The standard deviation of the proportion is 000179, and the actual divergence is 54 times this, and therefore almost certainly significant. 5. The standard deviation of the number drawn is 32, and the actual difference from expectation 18, There is no significance. 6. p=1-02M, n=M/p : p=0'510, n=120 : p=0-454, n=110"4. 8. Standard deviation of simple sampling 230 per cent. The actual standard-deviation does not, therefore, seem to indicate any real variation, but only fluctuations of sampling. 9. Difference from expectation 75 : standard error 10:0. The difference might therefore occur frequently as a fluctuation of sampling. 10. The test can be applied either by the formule of Case II. or Case III. Case II. is taken as the simplest. (2) (4B)/(B)=69"1 per cent.: (4B)/(B)=80'0 per cent. Difference 109 per cent. (A)/N=71"1 per cent. and thence ,=12'9 per cent. The actual difference is less than this, and would frequently occur as a fluctuation of simple sampling. (0) (4B)/(B)=70°1 per cent. : (4B)/(B)=643 per cent. Difference 5:8 per cent. (4)/N=676 per cent., and thence e;,=38°40 per cent. The actual difference is 1°7 times this, and might, rather infrequently, occur as a fluctua- tion of simple sampling. CHAPTER XIV. Row.
