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 is the sample variance with the mean of 190.3?
The mean, by itself, does not provide sufficient information to make any assessment of the sample variance.
Do you have a sample school zone variance letter?
no
If a sample of 66 employees were taken from a population of 820 employees s2 could refer to the variance of how many of the employees salarues?
In this context, ( s^2 ) would refer to the sample variance of the salaries of the 66 employees taken from the population of 820 employees. It is a measure of how much the salaries of these sampled employees deviate from their average salary. This sample variance provides an estimate of the variance of the population, assuming that the sample is representative.
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.
