Suppose X1,,Xn are i.i.d random variables with mean E(X)= and variance VAR(X)=2. Sample
variance is defined as Vn=n1i=1n(XiMn)2,1 where Mn is the sample mean. Show that the
expected value of Vn is given by: E[Vn]=nn12 Hint: Manipulate Vn into the form: Vn=n1i=1n(Xi)2(
Mn)2 Provide an explanation as to why the sample variance is not an unbiased estimator; in other
words, why do we have the factor nn1 ?
