It is remarkable that the sum of squares of the residuals and the sample mean can be shown to be independent of each other, using, e.g. Basu's theorem.That fact, and the normal and chi-squared distributions given above form the basis of calculations involving the t-statistic:
"Erroneous rendition", a euphemism used by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for the forcible abduction and transfer to the U.S. of a target in another legal jurisdiction; Erroneous, a pseudonym used by bassist Alex Dmochowski, so credited on the Frank Zappa albums Waka/Jawaka, The Grand Wazoo and Apostrophe (')

If the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one obtained, supposing that the null hypothesis were true, is lower than a pre-specified cut-off probability (for example, 5%), then the result is said to be statistically significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.
An SEU is temporally masked if the erroneous pulse reaches an output latch, but it does not occur close enough to when the latch is actually triggered to hold. If all three masking effects fail to occur, the propagated pulse becomes latched and the output of the logic circuit will be an erroneous value.
It may also be an erroneous attempt to reveal a truth. Gaffes can be malapropisms, grammatical errors or other verbal and gestural weaknesses or revelations through body language. Actually revealing factual or social truth through words or body language, however, can commonly result in embarrassment or, when the gaffe has negative connotations ...
