Preface
With this edition we have taken the opportunity to expand the range of tables. The new tables cover some
non-parametric tests as well as other areas which we have found to be useful.

The non-parametric tests include both Nair's and Dixon's tests for identifying whether an outlying
observation in a sample is sufficiently extreme to consider discarding it. Tables are provided of Spearman's
and Kendall's Rank Correlation Coefficients and of the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics for
goodness of fit.

We have also added a table of Tukey's Wholly Significant Difference- a test of importance in under-
standing and interpreting the practical significance of the results of analysis of variance.

We have also given examples of the use of all the new tables just mentioned.

There is now a table of. the simplified factors using the American practice for constructing control charts
for sample average and sample range. As a final addition, we have included a set of useful formulae
together with the parameters of the most commonly used statistical distributions.

For a more detailed description on the use of the original tables, including those of random numbers, as
well as for specialist statistical tabulations, reference should be made to well-known publications such as
the Biometrika Tables for Statisticians and those of Fisher and Yates. As a cautionary note and since there
is no universal convention for the tabulation of statistical functions, users unfamiliar with these tables
should be careful to check the actual function which is tabulated. For example, many tabulations of the
percentage points of the t-distribution split the probability equally between both tails of the distribution
and quote I t I as the value oft exceeded with the given probability, whereas Table 7 of this edition gives
the value of +t which cuts off the indicated probability in the right-hand tail of the distribution only.

The authors would like to thank their colleague, Mr W. Schroeder, for his development of computer
programs to calculate percentage points of x2 (Table 8) and the tables of discount factors (Tables 39, 40
and 41).

Finally, the authors are indebted to the Literary Executor of the late Sir Ronald A. Fisher, F.R.S.,
Cambridge, to Dr Frank Yates, F.R.S., Rothamsted, and to Messrs. Oliver and Boyd Ltd., Edinburgh, for
permission to reprint all or part of Tables III, IV, V and XXXIII from their book 'Statistical Tables for
Biological, Agricultural and Medical Research', to the Biometrika Trustees for permission to reprint parts
of Tables 8 and 9 from 'Biometrika Tables for Statisticians, Volume I', and also the British Standards
Institution for permission to reprint some tables from B.S. 2564: 1955 and from the withdrawn British
Standard B.S. 600R: 1942. Every effort has been made to trace all the copyright holders but if any have
been inadvertently overlooked the publishers will be pleased to make the necessary arrangement at the
first opportunity.
