Document Summary

Distribution of the variance (mound shaped population) (at academic. cengage. com/ statistics/wackerly) to complete the following. a click the button next obs to take a sample of size 1 from the population with distribution represented by the top histogram. The value obtained is plotted on the middle histogram. The value of the sample variance is computed and given above the middle histogram. When you completed part (a), the value of the sample variance was also plotted on the lowest histogram. Click the button reset and repeat the process in part (a) to generate a second observed value for the sample variance. Why or why not? c click the button 1 sample a few times. You will observe that different samples lead to different values of the sample variance. Click the button 1000 samples a few times to quickly generate a histogram of the observed values of the sample variance (based on samples of size 5).
