We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

1950 STATISTICAL ASPECTS 721 simple statistical methods can be used to present data and interpret experimental results in color sensitometry. It should be emphasized that no method of summarizing and presenting experimental data should ever lead the reader to draw different inferences than he would have drawn (more laboriously) by references to the original test results. Frequency Diagrams Frequency diagrams30 (histograms) can be recommended for studying the results of large experiments when the order in which the ex Fig. 13.

They are usually preferable to tables because they immediately convey a graphic picture. Figure 13 shows a frequency diagram for the sensitometric tests made on samples of film made during an arbitrary test run. The information shown in this graph is equivalent to that contained in Table III. The shape of such histograms gives important information about how well the process was controlled during the period under study. Well controlled systems usually produce single
