To study the variability of in a test with grades from 0 to 5, 17 students were drawn from a school and their grades were as follows: 0, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 1. To estimate the variance, the estimators in the figure below were proposed. Get the estimates and discuss which is the "best" estimator.

The question is, for the following scores find the mean, median, sum of squared deviations, variance, and standard deviation. 2,2,0,5,1,4,1,3,0,,0,1,4,,4,0,1,,4,3,4,2,1,0. Tnank you!
b) If each observation is given by the overall mean + product effect + residual, find the residuals for all above observations and write them in a table. Product effect for each observation is: the group mean - the overall mean So, the product effect is the same for all observations in a group (e.g., A). (Hint: you can use Microsoft Excel, R or SPSS for this)

A medical researcher claims that the variance of the heart rates (in beats per minute) of smokers is greater than the variance of heart rates of people who do not smoke. Samples from two groups are selected and the data is given below. Using = 0.05, test whether there is enough evidence to support the claim. Smokers Non Smokers m = 25 n = 18 s = 36 s = 10
The ages of the 5 officers for a school club are 18, 18, 17, 16, and 15. The proportion of officers who are younger than 18 is 0.6. The table displays all possible samples of size 2 and the corresponding proportion for each sample. Using the proportions in the table, is the sample proportion an unbiased estimator? Yes, the sample proportions are calculated using samples from the population. Yes, the mean of the sample proportions is 0.6, which is the same as the population proportion. No, 0.6 is not one of the possible sample proportions. No, 70% of the sample proportions are less than or equal to 0

Professor Hayashi has implemented a new book for his Fall 2013 statistics course. He wants to see if the new book has an effect on the exam average for Exam 3. He knows that the Exam 3 mean for all students who have taken his statistic course over the past 10 years is 77.2. He collects some data from a sample of 9 students and finds that the Exam 3 mean for his Fall 2013 statistics students is 81.7 with a variance of 32.49.Measure effect size using percentage of variance

A researcher wanted to find the best viewing distance for watching a TV screen. He recruited the following number of participants and asked them to evaluate their satisfaction of the viewing distance. Then, he conducted an ANOVA to see if there is any significant mean differences. Here are the number of participants by each group: Group 1 (4 feet) - 5 people Group 2 (7 feet) - 5 people Group 3 (10 feet) - 6 people Group 4 (13 feet) - 5 people Group 5 (16 feet) - 4 people Given the numbers as presented above, what is the degrees of freedom for within groups for this analysis? a. 4 b. 20 O c. 21 d. 25
