Document Summary

2z has the (central) chi-squared distribution with 1 degree of. 1 follows the (central) chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom, denoted. Ze n variance of a chi-square distribution with n degrees of freedom is 2n: var( Y is not known in applications, it must be estimated. An important property of a sample from a normal distribution is that n i. That is, using the sample mean has reduced the degrees of freedom by one. Ams 310, the unbiased estimator of the sample variance is. Y is a sample of size n distribution. This is our first important use of the chi-squared distribution with from a distribution. The tests in this chapter are usually one-sided. A research team took a sample of 8 observations from the random variable y, which had a normal distribution. 8y is the average of the eight sampled observations and the unbiased estimate of that levels of significance. against the alternative.
