Errata Equation 7.19 This equation (p. 330) for W (the Welch statistic) contains errors in both the numerator and denominator. The incorrect equation reads: whereas the correct equation is: These equations differ in both the numerator and denominator, where all occurrences of the variable k should be replaced by t. Page 496 The third equation on p. 496 is incorrect; specifically the left hand term should be µ_jk, not µ_ij, such that the correct equation is Equation 9.22 The equation (p. 497) should read. (note the change from µ₂₁ to µ₁₂ for the second term on the left hand side of the equation) Page 497 The sentence before Eq. 9.23 is incorrect. It should read (changes in bold, black): Likewise, to compare two different means across different levels of factor A within a given level of factor B (e.g., b₁), we examine the contrast Equation 9.23 The equation (p. 497) should read. (note the change from µ₁₂ to µ₂₁ for the second term on the left hand side of the equation) Equation 9.24 The equation (p. 497) should read. (note the change from ("$)₁₂ to ("$)₂₂ for the last term on the right hand side of the equation) Equation 9.28 The equation (p. 500) for MS_{pool, AB} is correct; however, the associated degrees of freedom should read DF_{pool, AB} rather than DF_{pool, B}. Problem 3.3 The answer (p. 888) is incorrect. The incorrect answer prints the regression equation as whereas the correct regression equation is Problem 3.16 The answer (p. 893) is incorrect. The incorrect answer prints the confidence interval as -26.3 to 0.7, whereas the correct confidence interval is -26.3 to 1.7. Problem 8.16 The question (p. 414) contains a typographical error: on line 5, "throught" should be "thought.". Back to Top
