Overview: This booklet contains hints to the solutions and answers where necessary, of the exercises contained in ‘Intermediate Statistical Methods‘ by G. Barrie Wetherill. The following principles have been adopted in dealing with the answers. (1) In some cases the answer is the drawing of a graph, and this has been omitted. (2) In many numerical exercises a considerable amount of ‘data snooping‘, plotting of residuals, etc. should follow the main ~sis. The inclusion of this material would make the answer booklet far too long. (3) In some cases there is a readily available reference from whic
