For the purpose of analysis, the data in Table Z

were separated for each acigle of rotation* The data in

eaoh group were simplified for computation by subtracting

the sajse amount from eaoh value in the group and arranged

as shown in tables 6, 7, 8 and 9*

Eaoh coliimn was then totaled and the individual

eoluiBii totals labeled X-|^, J^, X., X., and X-« llie grand

total of all data in the table was labeled Z* Saoh value in

the table was squared and the sum of the squares labeled T •

Saoh row was totaled and the individual rcw? totals labeled

^1* ^2» ^3» ^'^^ 30 on up to T,-.

The total variation » ^, was computed by means ofo o

the formula ^ • T - Z , where k is the number of columns

emd m is the number of rows*

The variation among column laeans, ;^ , was computed

by means of the formula Q<j= 1 (^ "/ xf •/ x| ^ x| -/ x|) - Z^ .

The variation among row means, Qj,, was computed by

The residual variation, a , was coHq)uted by means

means of the formula Q^* = 1 (if -/ Yg -/ if . . . .-/ if5) - Z

of the formula Q^ - ^i - Qg - Qy •
