This output is wrong, there is supposed to be just 4 observations. The 4th and fifth observation for SS is wrong.


SS= (.6-.55)+(.55-.3)+(.3-.1)+(.1-0)

TT= (5-4)+(6-5)+((7-6)+(9-7))

This is wrong.

20.2510.25

41.0011.00

This is how the correct output is supposed to look like;

SS= (.6-.55)+(.55-.3)+(.3-.1)+(.1-0)

TT= (5-4)+(6-5)+((7-6)+(9-7))
