ANSWERS ETC., TO EXERCISES GIVEN. 403 intervals does not affect the sum of deviations, except for the interval in which the mean or median lies: for that interval the sum is n, (0°25 +2), hence the entire correction is a(n; — ng) +n5(0°25 + d?). In this expression d is, of course, expressed as a fraction of the class-interval, and is given its proper sign. Notice that the », and ny of this question are not the same as the NV; and A, of § 16.
