This is an ongoing listing of errors in the 7th edition. If you find any more, please let me know.
Because of the way I expect to distribute
this list, I cannot be sure
that subscripts and Greek symbols will come across. Subscripts are
usually shown in
parentheses [as in s(1)], superscripts as s^2, and Greek letters are
spelled out.
| Page | Line | Correction |
| 40 | Table 3.2 | Robert Corwyn of Univ. of Arkansas at Little Rcok pointed out that the 3rd line under Reaction Time shouold read .70-.79, not .60-.79. |
| 57 | Exercise 3.18 | Robert Corwyn pointed out that this exercise refers to a table that is no longer in the text. Actually he is wrong on that, but I need to point out that Figure 13.12 is printed on the next page. At first I made the same error he did. |
| 99 | Third row of data | Robert Corwin pointed out that I only have 19 entries in that row and need 20. I have left out a "21." |
| 103 | 4 of text | YTusun Jung at the University of Kansas pointed out that the range for 2/3 of the observations should be 1.12 and 1.80. |
| 144 and 145 | Table 7.3 | Angela Murray at KU, and later Nic Wilkins at KU, pointed out that the table should read:Defendant's Race Yes No Total Black 95 425 520 Row % 18.3% 81.7% 100.0% Col. % 83.3% 76.9% 78.0% Cell% 14.2% 63.7% Nonblack 19 128 147 Row % 12.9% 87.1% 100.0% Col. % 16.7% 23.1% 22.0% Cell% 2.8% 19.2% Total 114 553 667 Row % 17.1% 82.9%and the end of paragraph 2 on 145 should read 95/667 = .142. |
| 164 | 29 | Gordon Harman also pointed out that I gave a probability as 09 reather than .09.. |
| 190 | Figure 9.1 | Justin Fuller at Ohio University offered some interesting suggestions to explain the positive relationship between infant mortality and the number of physicians. It is very possible that this is a reporting problem--the more physicians, the better the reporting. It is also possible that physicians increase the rate of live births that then die soon after birth and are counted in the mortality rate. |
| 213 | 10 | David Fried at Ohio University pointed out that the second of those two equations should say "against H1: ρ ≠ 0." |
| 214 | 2nd paragraph | Nadine Robinson at Algoma University pointed out that I point ahead to Figure 9.11 on page 218. Unfortunately I changed that figure in this edition, so it is the wrong reference. Just change the sentence to "SPSS gives the correlation between life expectancy and expenditures as .138." |
| 333 | Table 11.5 | Robert Corwyn pointed out that in Table 11.5 lines 8-10 under Predict should begin with a "1." In other words 1032.557 instead of 032.557. |
| 341 | 10 | The equation should be (25 + 37)/2 = 31 |
| 346 | 3rd from bottom | The reference should be to Figure 13.3. |
| 315 | Bottom line in table | 9*6.333 = 57.00, not 9. Thanks to David Fried at Ohio University. |
| 399 | First equation | In the equation for d, the second denominator should be sigma(D) instead of mu(D). Thanks to Daisy Munoz at Santa Clara University for pointing this out. |
There will be a self-extracting archive of all of the data found in DataAll.zip. Simply click on this link and tell the resulting dialog box where you want to store the download--the desktop is fine. After the file is downloaded, click on the downloaded file and indicate where you want the data files to be stored. Once the data are extracted, you can safely delete the archive file itself.
