table 12-3

Problem expanding y_ij = mu + alpha_i + epsilon
with alpha_i = y_i_bar - y_i. Table 12-3 actually shows values that would be correct if we think that alfa_i = y_i_bar - mu
Also, it's not clear where epsilon values come from.

1st paragraph

Within-group variance formula probably should be Sum_i Sum_j(y_ij - y_i_bar)^2/a(n-1). That is, formula should use y_i_bar, not y_i.
Also, it's not explained what is "a"
