However, as we show later in this appendix, and as one might expect, the bias of the convenience sample must be small. One way to ...

One-way Analysis of Variance
... m), and in fact for variance we take the square of this difference, (x-m)2. The squared difference is summed over all scores, Σ (x-m)2 and then we take a sort of average by dividing by (n-1), where n is the number of scores. Variance = Σ (x-m)2/(n-1). If we divided by n that would be finding the var ...
