EDRM611: Applied Statistics
Errata for Hinkle, 5th edition, 2003
- Page 5: insert positive before square root in middle of page.
- Page 6: mult/div and add/sub are done left to right.
("stacked" exponentiation is safest parenthesized).
- Page 10: The all important Kelvin temperature scale is ratio.
- Page 11: Quantum mechanical values really are discrete!
- Page 12: delete numerical within classify and summarize data
near bottom of page.
- page 14-15/662: problems 6c, 6d, and 7c have extra answers
since the author did not treat the square symbol as a
mathematical function.
- page 18: The code system is arbitrary (but equals
the number of X or Y chromosomes).
- page 29: The author seems to have problems with the
mathematical concept of curve.
- page 59: add negatively skewed (left) and positively skewed (right)
- page 80: The normal equation arises from a large number of
choices (binomial with large n). IT IS NATURAL!
- page 114: no tied scores is insufficient to make
Spearman rho equal to Pearson r.
Use (5,1); (7,3); (9,5); (12,6) as an example: 0.969#1.
- page 144: families not only twins often share the same last name.
- page 148: omit equation 7.2; use equation 7.3 only and recognize
the overlap as being zero.
- page 195: replace the exact with a precise near middle of page.
- page 196: line 3 replace inverse with reciprocal (ditto on page 247,
two lines below gray box)
- page 203: label +/- part of equation 9.1 as margin of error.
- page 687: top equation is missing sqrt in demoninator.
