| Page | Type | Description |
| 203 | Typo | You can imagine having tables for the F distribution but there will be a lot of these... |
| 215 & 217 |
Typo | a prior should be a priori |
| 219 | Typo | The error variance is about twice what it was when comparing flavours. |
| 235 | Math | The degrees of freedom for the yeast data are 10, not 11. An additional degree of freedom is lost because we had to use our data to estimate the Poisson mean λ. |
| 242 | Math | The t statistic should be 4.20, not 4.46. |
| 243 | Math | The P-value from t19=1.41 is 0.087, not 0.174, since this is a one-sided test. |
| 245 | Typo | The t test was badly affected by this single value. |
| 326 | Typo | In the formula for P(Qk,d ≥ q), the d2 in the exponent of e should be dx2 instead. |
| 329 | Math | For the famous celebrity in question, these are not the correct random digits. View the correct digits. |
