1 belongs. If the component types are not known, we should find

for the whole series the averages L lt L 8,. . . Ln with the varia- bilities Mj, M a. . . M 8, and the coefficient of correlation calculated according to the method given above would be

If we divide this sum into two groups, the one embracing all the individuals of one type, the other those of the other type, we may substitute for the former

Lj -+- Xj = l x -f~ «*i» X t = /, L, -f~ x \

L n ~T~ **-n = 'n I «*n » «&n == 'n L n -f~ # n

for the latter

Lj + X t = A t + £j X, = Aj — I M + £, L n + X n = A n -f- S n X n = A n — L n + S a
