TnMtiJ'vr iletcniiinimj the "iiwst likely" value of Correlation 253 



Table for determining the "most likely" value p of the Correlation in a Sampled 

 Population from the knowledge of the Correlation r in a Sample of Size n, 

 when n is considerable and it is legitimate to distribute ignorance equally. 



The required value is 



A= 



Xj(r) X,(r) X,(r) 



n-1 (n-l) (n-1) 3 ' 

 when r is positive; if r be negative p has the same value as for r positive, but with 

 opposite sign. 



TABLE LI 6 . Functions required in determining the "most probable" 

 value p of the Correlation. 



The above Table will give p correct to five figures if n = 25 or over and correct 

 to four figures if n = 10 or over. It is best not to interpolate for the separate \'s, 

 but for the function as a whole.
