The shaded rect-angles a. h. c. d represent the divisions of the table of and/f the deviations of the lines of division from the meansof subject and relative represented by the axes of y and .r. (FromPearson.) Calculate the values of n, and a„ by the formuloe_ (a + r) - (A + d) - A • (a + i) - (c + f/) y Now we need a table of the probability integral,which gives the sums from the beginning of the nor-mal curve of frequency. In Biometrika, vol. ii.,pp. 182-190, is a series of tallies of this kind preparedespecially for our purpose. Turning to Tables III. andIV., pp. 18ij-190, we find in the a column our value of o,and in the .r column read ott the corresponding tabularentry, interpolating if necessary, and the valuethiis o
