             It should be noted that if there is no relationship between the CNV and the
          corresponding WF , or the relationship is nonlinear (that is, the null hypothesis is
          true), this operation of including linearly interpolated (or extrapolated) observa-
          tions would add noise and thus cause the null hypothesis to be accepted with
          higher probability.
             Conversely, if the alternative hypothesis is true, and there is a linear relation-
          ship between CNV and WF, generating observations via linear interpolation or
          extrapolation  (to  be  added  to  the  basic  set)  would  increase  the  probability  of
          rejecting the null hypothesis. In either cases, the added observations would render
          the conclusions derived from the analysis more powerful.

          Analysis II: Statistical Analysis Based on the Basic Set

          Only observations in the basic set are included in the analysis. Justification for this
          set is in subsection 12.3.2.

          Analysis III: Further Analyses
          Since, unlike all other observations in the basic set, the “red” observation is on
          the extreme margin of the visible spectrum (the upper margin of wavelength), the
          definition of its representative WF , to be used in the regression analysis, is open to

          debate. Therefore, in this third statistical analysis, only observations (in the basic
          set) internal to the visible spectrum are used.
             Some other analyses that are executed at this part of the analysis will be detailed
          later (section 12.3.3).

             The various stages of the analysis will now be detailed. The reader is kindly
          requested  to  persevere  with  reading  the  pursuing  analyses,  irrespective  of  how
          bizarre they may look. The validity of these analyses is established via implemen-
          tation of rigorous statistical principles.


          12.3.2  Preparation of the Samples (Stage 2)

          Selecting the Basic Set of Observations
          Based on a thorough search of a Bible concordance, only the following biblical
          color names, corresponding to the elementary colors in Table 12.1, were deemed

          as having clear, undebatable Hebrew meanings.
