Implications of random error of measurement for the sensitivity of the F test of differences between means are elaborated. By considering the mathematical models appropriate to design situations involving true and fallible measures, it is shown how measurement error decreases the sensitivity of a test of significance. A method of reducing such loss of sensitivity is described and recommended for general practice.
