This is an ongoing listing of errors in the 9th edition. If you find any more, please let me know. I am setting this page up before the book is actually published, so I can begin by claiming that there are no errors. Unfortunately that claim will probably not last long.
Page | Line | Correction |
17 | Ex1.14 | On that page I say that I show the M&M count an an associated web site, but Hammer, at Xavier Univ. in Lousiana, pointed out that his students could not find it. Neither can I. So I went on a hunt and found quite a good reference at https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2017/02/20/proportion-of-colors-mandms.html. I think that you will enjoy that page, even if you do not use SAS statistical software. (Even statisticians do whakey things once in a while.) |
37 | last paragraph | Max Gwynn, at Wilfrid Laurier University, in At Waterloo, Canada, pointed out that I wrote the reference to Table 3.1 should be to Table 3.2 on the next page. |
88 | Last equation | Ronald Porter, at St. Mary's University in Alberta, and Max Gwynn, at Wilfrid Laurier University, pointed out that I wrote sx2 when I simply meant to write sx. |
127 | Ex6.5c | Michael Lape pointed out that I used the standard deviation of 30, given in Ex6.3 and Ex6.4 instead of the correct one of 7.5. The resulting answer should be 62.66. |
136 | Last equation | David Lepinoy pointed out that the X (mult) in the last equation should be a + (plus). I think that I just got carried away with X's, though he was nice enough to blame the typesetter. |
234 | Line 7 | Michael Kiene pointed out that the Ŷ should be Ȳ. |
248 | Bottom of page | I reported that SPSS gives a one-tailed probability, but Burke Johnson at Southern Alabama Univ. pointed out that the probability is two-sided. I don't know where that error came from. |
254 | Step 1 | Michael Kiene pointed out that it should read Ȳ = 175.5/50. |
295 | Ex11.2 & 11.4 | Chris Beam, at USC, pointed out that Exercise 11.4 refers to a column (tolerances) in Exercise 11.2 that really isn't there. The image that should have been there follows. |
333 | Ex12.19 | Keith Burt, at the University of Vermont, pointed out that Exercise 12.19 is clearly stated as a one-tailed test, and yet I treated it as a two-tailed test. I think that he is correct, and the critcal value at α = .05 would be 1.697. |
341 | Ex12.19 | Michael Kiene pointed out that I really messed up this calcuation--my words, not his. The mean is -1.33 and the st. dev. is 2.024, so t = 2.54. |
345 | First Confidence Interval | Sara Plummer at Wayne State noticed that I used the wrong critical value of chi-square. It should be 2.12. That means that the confidence interval should be 3.58 - 10.94. |
349 | Ex13.13 | Keith Burt caught me again in reverse. I clearly asked for a two-tailed test, but gave the answer for a one-tailed test. The critical value would be t = 2.878, which gives a necessary N = 25.54 = 26. I appreciate the correction. |
365 | R code | The third line of the code should be broken after the first close-parenthesis, and "names(data)" should be on a new line. Or you can put a semicolon before "names." |
451 | Table 17.3 | Second equation should read 16.147 - 11,610/100. |
478 | For first mean in equation for SSsubjects, mean should be 6.60, not 6.80. Thanks to Michael Kiene. | |
492 | Ex18.5 | Caught again by Keith Burt. The correct summary table should be
There is a significant increase in decrease in severity over time. F = t2 = 3.7982 = 14.424.Source df SS MS F Subjects 8 612.00 Weeks 1 544.50 544.50 14.424 Error 8 302.00 37.75 Total 17 1458.50 [F.05(1,24) = 4.26] |
507 | Figure 19.2. | Swap the labels to "Blue = Male, Black = Female." And make the vertical axis read "Probability." Thanks to Michael Kiene. |
512 | 3rd para. line 2 | change "<=" to "%" |
513 | line 13 | Remove "only." |
530 | data table | Move T+ = 2 and T- = 26 right by two columns. Thanks to Michael Kiene. |
