What is the difference between a biased and unbiased sample?
Biased- (Not random) Unbiased-(Random) Example: (ubbiased) Woman takes random people to take a survey.
What biased estimator will have a reduced bias based on an increased sample size?
The standard deviation. There are many, and it's easy to construct one. The mean of a sample from a normal population is an unbiased estimator of the population mean. Let me call the sample mean xbar. If the sample size is n then n * xbar / ( n + 1 ) is a biased estimator of the mean with the property that its bias becomes smaller as the sample size rises.
Difference between biased and unbiased errors?
A biased error is one that is caused by a factor inherent to the source of the error. An unbiased error is one that comes from anywhere.
What are the assumptions of standard deviation?
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
Is sample standard deviation the same as standard deviation?
No, the standard deviation is a measure of the entire population. The sample standard deviation is an unbiased estimator of the population. It is different in notation and is written as 's' as opposed to the greek letter sigma. Mathematically the difference is a factor of n/(n-1) in the variance of the sample. As you can see the value is greater than 1 so it will increase the value you get for your sample mean. Essentially, this covers for the fact that you are unlikely to obtain the full population variation when you sample.
How do you relate biased and unbiased to the real world?
you can not people can be biased and not biased
What is the difference between a biased and unbiased sample?
Biased- (Not random) Unbiased-(Random) Example: (ubbiased) Woman takes random people to take a survey.
What does biased and un-biased mean?
Biased- prejudice Unbiased- fair or impartial

Is sample variance unbiased estimator of population variance?
No, it is biased.
What is the Difference between biased and unbiased errors?
An error which tends to occer in the same direction are called biased errors The error which tends to cancel out in the long run are called unbiased error
What does the sample standard deviation best estimate?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.

What is standard deviation of 155.45?
The standard deviation is 0.
If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
