A recent inquiry about the statistical analysis appropriate to a problem in paper manufacture led to a recognition of a simple extension of the use of χ 2 in the analysis of sample statistics with Poisson distributions. Since this extension may not be generally known, the authors have in this article described the test with reference to the actual problem.
