Last two lines of "Independent and Dependent Variables" |
In the closing sentences of the last paragraph of the section "Independent and Dependent Variables" the words indepenent and dependent have been described exactly the other way - at least if it should be consistent with the rest of the paragraphs idea.
Note from the Author or Editor:
on p. 54, the end of the last sentence of the paragraph beginning "Some researchers believe... " should read "thus, we will use "dependent variable" to identify the variables that reflect the outcome of a study and "independent variable" to mean the variables believed to influence the outcome." |

Last equation in Figure A-15 |
In a series of examples of dividing out common factors to simplify fractions, (4x^3y^2)/(2xy^3) is said to reduce to 2xy^-1 instead of 2x^2y^-1.
Note from the Author or Editor:
the second equation in Figure A-15 (p. 487 in the pdf) should solve to 2x^2y^-1
in other words, it should be x-squared rather than x in the solution |
