: THEORY OF STATISTICS. The theorem last given for evaluating P for an aggregate of tables is illustrated by the experimental data of Tables C and D. The values of x2 for the 350 fourfold tables of Table B were added together in pairs, giving 175 pairs. According to theory the resulting frequency-distribution for the totals of pairs of x's should be given by differencing the column of the P-table for n’=3. The results of theory and observation are compared in the first pair of columns of Table C. Testing goodness of fit, grouping the values of x2 7 and upwards, 2" is 8, x? is 5-53, and P is 0:60. Grouping the values of x? for the 350 experimental tables similarly in sets of three and summing, we get the observed distribution on the right of Table C, and the theoretical distribu- tion by differencing the column of the P-table for n»’=4. Grouping values of x? 8 and upwards, and testing goodness of fit between theory and observation, »’ is 9, x2 is 2°18, and P 0-97. TABLE C.— Theoretical Distribution of Totals of x?

Here there are 9 algebraically independent &’s for each table of the pair, and consequently n’ must be taken as 19. Differencing the P-table for n’ =19, the expected distribution is obtained, which is shown in the first column of Table D, the observed distribution 386 175-0 175 116°¢ 11%
