Re: The sample s.d. always underestimates

Well I had not been polite but I had not insulted
you. If you are a newbie you had notice yet that the
relationship here is at least harsh (to my surprise).
I have no doubt to apologize you.

_1__The goal is to compare the Distribution Variance
with the Sample Variance. You are failing the goal
because you did not define the Distribution you are
dealing with.
_2__Without defining yo are unable to answer the
question: What is the Distribution Variance?

Do you got my *exasperation*?

1. The distribution is any distribution with variance equal to one. If you prefer, you can assume that it's N(0,1).

2. The population variance is assumed to be one.
