n n For sample values X1, X2, n- ., X., the sample variance is s² = 11-1Σ (X; -x)², where x = -1 Σ x; is the sample mean. n i=1 i=1 (a) Show that the sample variance is unchanged if a constant c is added to or subtracted from each value in the sample. (b) Show that the sample variance becomes c² times its original value if each observation in the sample is multiplied by c. (a) If a constant c is added to or subtracted from each value in the sample, how do the sample values x, change? Each x becomes (x; +c). How does this change the sample mean X? The sample mean which simplifies to x + nc. simplifies to cx. simplifies to x + c. means the sample mean is x.

You are doing a one way analysis of variance on the fuel consumption of different makes of cars. You measure the fuel consumption of 93 cars in total. The number of car makes is 10 for this experiment. The sum of squares total is 192.40 and the sum of squares errors is 56.45. Find the sum of squares treatment correct to 2 decimal places.

Hello, When I sum up the variance, I'm getting 2.75. And not 1.65. Also, how did you get the xi-mean in each column? Thanks
We are running a hypothesis test to see if blood pressure of African zebras differs significantly from Arabian horses. We assume blood pressure in both populations is normally distributed and both populations have the same population variance in blood pressure which is unknown to us, so we use the sample variances to estimate the standard error for our calculations. We have a sample of size 9 for the African zebras and a sample of size 16 for the Arabian horses. How many degrees of freedom does our test statistic have?

A professor claims that the final exam grades are more widely dispersed in Principles classes compared to upper-level classes. In a sample of 101 Principles final exams, the standard deviation is 16 while in a sample of 30 upper-level class final exams the standard deviation is 13. Test the hypothesis at the 10% level of significance that the 2 variances are different. Write all formulas and hypothesis.
