Document Summary

Use the applet variancesize to complete the following. In exercise 7. 97, you will show that, for a large number of degrees of. 1 freedom, the 2 distribution can be approximated by a normal distribution. 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. Click four more times to complete a sample of size 5. 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.
