Page 522 Example 1: An important historical version of this example is discussed by Sir Ronald A. Fisher, The Design of Experiments, Hafner Publishing, 1971, pp. 11–26. A reissue of this book is available from Oxford University Press (1990) in Statistical Methods, Experimental Design, and Statistical Inference, by R. A. Fisher. Fisher’s version discusses a tea-tasting experiment.

Page 540 Exercise 22.15: There is some evidence that part of the reason that 39% may be an overstatement of church attendance is that the same people who go to church are likely to agree to participate in national surveys run by the National Opinion Research Center. See Robert D. Woodberry, “When surveys lie and people tell the truth: how surveys oversample church attenders,” American Sociological Review, 63 (1998), pp. 119–122.
