For the purposes of paragraph 52(4)(a), the formula for adjusting the sample mean to determine the weighted average quantity of the units in the sample is as follows: X a = x + s(t÷√n) * where X a is the weighted average quantity of the units in the sample x is the sample mean calculated as follows: x = Σx ÷ n Σx is the sum of the net quantities of all units in the sample t is the value determined in accordance with Part III for the selected sample size n is the number of units in the sample s is the standard deviation of the sample, calculated as follows: s equals the square root of the quotient of the sum of the squared differences of x minus the mean of x divided by the difference of n minus 1 Σ(x- x ) 2 is the sum of the squared differences between the sample mean and the net quantity of each unit in the sample. * The value of (t ÷ √n) may, instead of being calculated in accordance with this Part, be determined using the applicable value set out in column III of the table to Part III.
