Unfortunately, the textbook contains some errors. Here are the corrections to the errors that have been found so far:

Corrections to text:
p. 133, Ex. 4.4: ex should be e-x.
p. 359, line 7, after first minus sign: x2 should have a bar over it.

Corrections to questions:
6.5, p. 207: You are asked to find α3 and α4. What are α3 and α4? Presumably, they mean μ3 and μ4.

Corrections to answers in the back of the book:
6.5. μ3 = 0; μ4 = (β - &alpha)4/80.
6.63 (b). 0.7852
6.71 (a). 0.1056
8.77 0.05
14.41 (a) y = 83.46 + 3.98 x (b) 88.63
