9.6 In a certain population the random variable Y has variance equal to 490. Two independent random samples, each of size 20, are drawn. The first sample mean is used as the predictor of the second sample mean. (a) Calculate the expectation, expected square, and variance, of the prediction error. (b) Approximate the probability that the prediction error is less than 14 in absolute value.
