What does n-1 indicate in a calculation for variance?
The n-1 indicates that the calculation is being expanded from a sample of a population to the entire population. Bessel's correction(the use of n − 1 instead of n in the formula) is where n is the number of observations in a sample: it corrects the bias in the estimation of the population variance, and some (but not all) of the bias in the estimation of the population standard deviation. That is, when estimating the population variance and standard deviation from a sample when the population mean is unknown, the sample variance is a biased estimator of the population variance, and systematically underestimates it.
Is sample variance unbiased estimator of population variance?
No, it is biased.
How do you prove that the sample variance is equal to the population variance?
You cannot prove it because it is not true.The expected value of the sample variance is the population variance but that is not the same as the two measures being the same.
What does it mean to say that the sample variance provides an unbiased estimate of the population variance?
It means you can take a measure of the variance of the sample and expect that result to be consistent for the entire population, and the sample is a valid representation for/of the population and does not influence that measure of the population.
What is the variance of 6.6 8.5 4.6 1.7 2.4?
(Population) variance = 6.4664
The sample variance is always smaller than the true value of the population variance is always larger than the true value of the population variance could be smaller equal to or?
yes, it can be smaller, equal or larger to the true value of the population varience.
When the null hypothesis is true the ratio of the between groups population variance estimate to the within groups population variance estimate should be about?
1
In analysis of variance the magnitude of the mean differences from one treatment to another will contribute to the numerator of the f-ratio the denominator of the f-ratio both neither?
the numerator of the F-ratio
Show that in simple random sampling the sample variance is an unbiased estimator of population variance?
It is a biased estimator. S.R.S leads to a biased sample variance but i.i.d random sampling leads to a unbiased sample variance.
Symbol for population variance?
the small greek letter sigma squared.
What is Disribution used in estimating population variance?
The lognormal distribution, probably.
How To Calculate Standard Deviation?
You can calculate standard deviation by addin the numbers of data that are together and dividing that number by the amount pieces of data.THAT IS TOTALLY INCORRECT.What was answered above was the calculation for getting an (mean) average.If you take five numbers for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then the (mean) average is 3.But the standard deviation between them is 1.58814 and the variance is 2.5Also the population std. deviation will be 1.41421 and the population variance will be 2.see standard-deviation.appspot.com/
