chapter 8—sampling distributions
... 4. Since the X1, X2, …, Xn are random variables, they have a distribution (Center, Spread, and Shape). It’s easy to “see” that the distribution of X1 is identical to the population distribution and hence: Center of X1: popln Spread of X1: 2popln Shape of X1: Popln Shape 5. Less easy to see, but st ...

MEASURES OF LOCATION AND SPREAD
... magnitude of the deviations. If we square the deviations before summing them, we will always get a positive quantity. Dividing this by the total number of observations then gives a measure of average deviation from the mean, known as the variance. Variance, S² = [∑ (Xi- X¯)²]/n-1 Note. In this equat ...
