TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that more medicine is taken by young women than by young men and more by poorer than by richer people than any other age group in the UK.
Abstract: Readers will be interested to learn that more medicine is taken by young women than by young men and more by poorer than by richer people. Mr Gray and Miss Cartwright present these and other cognate results of an inquiry, together with the detail proper to a sound statistical report.

TL;DR: This paper proposed an index for measuring the tendency of workers to be absent on one day of the week rather than another, and discussed the statistical reliability of his index. But the reliability of the index is questionable.
Abstract: Mr Liddell, who is a member of the Statistical Organisation of the National Coal Board, proposes an index for measuring the tendency of workers to be absent on one day of the week rather than another, and discusses the statistical reliability of his index. He bases his investigations on data obtained from a colliery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest a way of using past records of absenteeism to select members of a labour force who are suitable for special treatment because they are likely to be absence offenders in the future.
Abstract: This article suggests a way of using past records of absenteeism to select members of a labour force who are suitable for special treatment because they are likely to be absence‐offenders in the future. The problem is a practical one and is so treated, and the argument is not difficult as statistical arguments go. Details of the method are the province of the statistician and are dealt with in an appendix, and in other papers to which reference is given.

TL;DR: Melman as discussed by the authors examines some data for US manufacturing industry and finds that at given times production costs per dollar of sales did not vary, on the average, with the size of the firm.
Abstract: Professor Melman examines some data for US manufacturing industry and finds that at given times production costs per dollar of sales did not vary, on the average, with the size of the firm, and that administration costs per dollar of sales were less for larger firms. The significance of these results is discussed.

TL;DR: Leser as discussed by the authors examined some data concerning British industrial production, manpower, and capital, and found that whereas for the forty years preceding the first world war the relationship between these quantities can be represented by a simple type of production function, for the interwar years this is not so.
Abstract: In this article Dr Leser examines some data concerning British industrial production, manpower, and capital. His results suggest that whereas for the forty years preceding the first world war the relationship between these quantities can be represented by a simple type of production function, for the inter‐war years this is not so.
TL;DR: Bell et al. as mentioned in this paper presented statistical methods in electrical engineering and showed that statistical methods can be applied to the problem of electrical power control. Pp. viii + 175.25s.
Abstract: D. A. Bell: Statistical Methods in Electrical Engineering. London: Chapman and Hall, 1953. Pp. viii + 175. 25s.

TL;DR: In using the goodness-of-fit test, should a very small value of χ2 occasion a rejection of the null hypothesis? as mentioned in this paper presents the conflicting views on this question and answers it: No.
Abstract: In using the goodness‐of‐fit test should a very small value of χ2 occasion a rejection of the null hypothesis ? Mr Stuart presents the conflicting views on this question and answers it: No.
TL;DR: A. G. Arbous as mentioned in this paper, Tables for Aptitude Testers, 1952. Pp. iii + 86.50s, p. iii+86.

TL;DR: By analysing the results of a specially planned set of observations, the authors are able to show that a partially subjective test of yarn quality can give reliable results.
Abstract: By analysing the results of a specially planned set of observations, the authors are able to show that a partially subjective test of yarn quality can give reliable results. The errors are estimated. This article also presents an interesting example of the use of transformations of the observed variable.
TL;DR: Romig and Romig as discussed by the authors presented a 50-100 binomial tables for the binomial table language with a focus on the relation between binomial structures and Binomial tables.
Abstract: Harry G. Romig: 50‐100 Binomial Tables. New York: John Wiley and Sons; London: Chapman & Hall, 1953. Pp. xxvii + 172. 32s.
