(i.e. the summation of x sub i minus the mean to the nth power,
times the probability of x sub i)


{406}  Table 11-1, 2nd row, 2nd column;

u 2

should be:

u

where 'u' is meant to represent the greek letter 'mu')


{467}  Example 13-1, 8th line;
In the line:

wstring ws2 = L"Euro: _";

the underscore should be replaced by the Euro symbol.

In the line:

wstring ws2 = L"Euro: _";       // Or just type it in

the underscore should be replaced by the Euro symbol.
