Preface
This solution manual was prepared as an aid for instructors who will benefit by having solutions available. In addition to providing detailed answers to most of the problems in the book, this manual can help the instructor determine which of the problems are most appropriate for the class.
The vast majority of the problems have been solved with the help of available computer software (SAS, S-Plus, Minitab). A few of the problems have been solved with hand calculators. The reader should keep in mind that round-off errors can occur-
particularly in those problems involving long chains of arithmetic calculations.
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of many students, whose homework formed the basis for many of the solutions. In particular, we would like to thank Jorge Achcar, Sebastiao Amorim, W. K. Cheang, S. S. Cho, S. G.
Chow, Charles Fleming, Stu Janis, Richard Jones, Tim Kramer, Dennis Murphy, Rich Raubertas, David Steinberg, T. J. Tien, Steve Verrill, Paul Whitney and Mike Wincek.
Dianne Hall compiled most of the material needed to make this current solutions manual consistent with the sixth edition of the book.
The solutions are numbered in the same manner as the exercises in the book.
Thus, for example, 9.6 refers to the 6* exercise of chapter 9.
We hope this manual is a useful aid for adopters of our Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis, 6 edition, text. The authors have taken a little more active role in the preparation of the current solutions manual. However, it is inevitable that an error or two has slipped through so please bring remaining errors to our attention. Also, comments and suggestions are always welcome.
